"MYTO is a plastic chair, which is strong, comfortable, light, stackable, compact and comes in a coolly angular shape that is made from a single piece of plastic using (eco-responsibly, of course) the minimum material possible. Grcic has designed many chairs over the years, but had never dared to attempt the most challenging type of all: a cantilever chair with no back legs that's supported by its own structure. Cantilever chairs are shrouded by modernist mystique, as so few have been made, and the best known examples are among the most famous designs of the 20th century, like Marcel Breuer's 1920s tubular steel chairs, Verner Panton's sexy 1960s plastic chair. ""It's a no-go area, because it is the icon of modern furniture design,"" said Grcic. Grcic wanted his chair to seem light and supple, with a perforated seat and back. ""The perforations look quite like an animal skin, and the chair has a reptilian quality with a precise outline and roundish, but tense surfaces,"" he said. ""Sometimes animals assume that position when they're ready to pounce."""
