The 5x5 Chair is made of tiles made of xilith, a waste product mined with coal. Through the right treatment of this fragile and brittle material, Barbara Princic has designed a very elegant chair. It is called the 5x5 Chair because 5x5cm is the optimum size for these tiles in terms of being able to work with them. I think that it is excellent to be able to use a material that is usually just thrown out to create something functional like a chair.

I like the palette that you have used. However i think that the 3/4 view of the chair could have had a bigger role in this poster. Maybe enlarging it, reducing the amount of text and setting the poster on a vertical orientation.
