DesignReasons sells the .03, which is a high-end stacking chair that can be used in almost all kinds of spaces. The shell, with its linear silhouette and flexible integral foam construction, is aerodynamically designed: when the sitter leans back, the upper part of the backrest yields slightly. Built-in leaf springs give added resilience to the backrest and this chair returns it to the original position when pressure is removed. This makes .03 so unexpectedly comfortable.

The .03 high-end chair offers many advantages, especially for use in public spaces: it can be compactly stacked (up to 20 chairs), has linking connectors with or without seat numbers and is robust and easy to clean.
