Towel Caddy chair

With the Towel Caddy, Andrée Putman proposes a chair in which the simplicity of materials becomes the vehicle for understated elegance. Made of white metal and wire mesh, the piece follows a logic of formal and material economy. The use of so-called “poor” materials is elevated through precise and sophisticated treatment, revealing their full perceptual richness. The structure, both light and rigorous, plays on the transparency of the mesh, allowing light to circulate and visually reducing the volume. This porosity gives the object a subtle presence, particularly suited to functional spaces. Originally designed for the bathrooms of numerous private projects, this chair responds to specific constraints while maintaining an autonomous formal language, capable of integrating into diverse contexts. Between formal restraint and attention to detail, the Towel Caddy embodies an approach to design in which simplicity becomes synonymous with sophistication.
