View image in fullscreenSteer by 陳鴻軒 Chan Hung HinIn 1954, the renowned industrial designers (and brothers) Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni designed a stool using a tractor seat in a playful ode to Italian farmers. Manufactured from 1971, it became an iconic design that remains in production today. Hin’s Steer chair seems to take a leaf out of the brothers’ book, using ready-mades to create sculptural furniture from three sets of bicycle handlebars.
