The Trapezoid Chair, created by Benjamin (Ben) Martinelli, was designed in 2019 while he was stationed in Germany. He wanted to create a simple, elegant chair that was visually interesting and comfortable to sit in. At the time, Ben visited the Pinakothek der Moderne art museum in Munich, Germany and was intrigued by the angular designs of Marcel Breuer’s Bauhaus furniture, notably the “Armchair” and “Wassily” chairs.
