The main characteristic of the chair is the U cuts made into the legs and bended parts. Curves become flatten and the light hits on the pieces in a different way, that gives a soft rhythm to the chair. The bended back's cuts are made to bring comfort increasing the angle with the seat.
In the back stick, those cuts allow it to be assembled in the back parts.
On the front legs, the upper flat parts made by the cuts let them be joined to the seat, creating a nice diagonal assembly. On their lower parts, the cuts sharps the shape of the legs and give lightness to the Österlen chair and table.
