TARA
The first chair designed by Garnier & Linker, TARA is the result of several years of research into cast aluminum. With its deliberately monolithic appearance, the focus on comfort is reflected in a wraparound, swivel seat supported by a central leg. It is available in several finishes and as a series of stools.
The studio's work focused primarily on developing the shape to achieve maximum comfort in an elegant form. This work resulted in the creation of a large number of drawings, models, and prototypes, all in close collaboration with the workshop specializing in aluminum casting.
This technique requires the upstream manufacture of high-precision molds, machined from cast iron. The molds produced in this way are known as “permanent” molds: their lifespan is almost infinite.
The aluminum is heated to its melting point, which turns it into liquid. It is then poured into the cast iron molds, where it cools until it returns to its solid state.
The aluminum parts are then cold-worked before finishing. Garnier & Linker has developed three finishes that present aluminum in very different forms: the raw finish, which is close to the appearance of the parts when they come out of the mold, brushed aluminum, and polished aluminum.
The TARA collection is centered around the chair, available in aluminum or upholstered on the inside of the seat for added comfort, and also comes in a series of stools that can be made entirely of aluminum or with a wooden seat—natural oak, black-stained oak, or walnut.
