VIA57™

About the design The VIA57™ easy chair was designed as part of a collaboration between Bjarke Ingels and Danish design group KiBiSi. The collaboration celebrates the completion of Bjarke Ingels Group’s first New York City project — the VIA57 WEST building — offering design aficionados around the world the opportunity to experience a piece of the Manhattan skyline in their own homes. About the designer Lars Holme Larsen, Bjarke Ingels and Jens Martin Skibsted had collaborated on and off for several years before founding KiBiSi in 2009. The powerful trio started up the idea-driven design company to fully exploit the synergy of their individual successful design companies and architectural firms: Kilo Design (Ki), BIG architects (Bi) and Skibsted Ideation (Si). Today, KiBiSi is considered among Scandinavia’s most influential design groups.
