The Battery Park PRETZEL CHAIR reinterprets the iconic cantilever chair by folding its continuous tubular frame in onto itself to produce what resembles an ergonomic 'pretzel' having three legs, a back, and arm rests. In doing so, like its predecessor, it achieves its new form with a minimal amount of material and labor, making it lightweight and stable. Its economy of production echoes the economy of the human body in the Park, in so far as the Pretzel Chair is reversible and accommodates the Park's visitor in their most common positions: Task and Leisure. Its legs and rests work interchangeably, their proportions and angles designed to respond to the body in its respective positions.
