La "chase"

“La Chase” (missing the I) turns “chaise” (chair) into “chase” (action). Dropping one stroke makes the word stiffer and more active. The missing “I” removes the first-person but increases presence — a silhouette moving forward.

Visually / conceptually:

• One letter shifts the story: support → actor in motion.

• Spelling suggests form: tilted backrest, tense leg, wide seat.

• One-letter restraint matches design restraint: essential, plain.
