Reline is a series of three pieces – the Reline Chair, Reline Lounge Chair and Reline Stool. Each piece is made from silicon rubber that is also used in medical equipment. The strength of the silicon rubber provides stability while the mobility of it provides comfort.
As you can see, next to each piece of the ReLine series is a mathematical graph. Each ReLine piece was based off of a popular mathematical equation, as the curves of the chair, lounge chair and stool match the curve of the line.
