Live Unframed, Win a SAYL Chair

Designer Yves Béhar believes there’s a parallel between the SAYL chair’s unframed suspension back and how we humans progress by unframed expressions of our potential.

“You live unframed when you let ideas define what it is you want to do and who it is you want to be,” he says.

So, how do you live unframed?
