The artistic Bocca chair gives the illusion of mass with its expansive, not-so-minimal form, but the unique woven construction makes it lightweight and airy. Manufactured from steel tubing and fabric in an artfully woven mesh voronoi pattern, the design is flexible and and durable, making it a comfortable seating solution indoors and out.

The Tina chair and bench merge age-old rattan craftsmanship with modern production methods in a design that is both innovative and traditional. In designer Benedetta Tagliabue’s own words, “they’re built with the painstaking care and attention to detail of artisanal methods coupled with the precision and quality that comes with technology.”  At once minimal and natural, they’re complimentary to modern and classic interiors alike.

Designing truly comfortable seating without upholstery is more challenging than it may seem, especially without using molded wood. Designers Alessandro Torricelli & Ralph Voigt found a simple & efficient solution by dividing the Curytiba chair’s seat & backrest into two sections. Each side was carefully bowed to the center until the pressure zones of the tailbone & back were relieved. It’s rigid, yet thoughtfully formed to the human anatomy for maximum comfy-ness. Not to mention, it’s really easy on the eyes.

Almost unrecognizable as a chair, Spike by Alexander Lervik looks more like some sort a torture instrument than seating object…. and we love it! The design was inspired by the designer’s observation of slanted rain and the tendency of the drops to create floating lines as they hurdle toward the ground.  Collectively, the turned ash rods mimic the curve of a body, making it completely safe to sit in…. we promise!

Featuring a commanding contrast of raw wood and steel, the Geek chair has a fresh and contemporary appearance that’s elegant yet unpretentious. The design itself is straightforward and familiar, using simple geometric lines for a subtlety. For more individual style, there’s a choice of matte black or white finish coupled with the solid maple rods.

At first glance, you wouldn’t think that the “First Chair” was all that simple to produce with its seemingly complex counterbalance of the legs, seat & back. But it’s actually result of the designers attempt to create a chair entirely from scratch! Using only the minimal amount of tools & materials available in his workshop at the moment, designer Jonathan Dorthe cut each piece from a single flat sheet of Russian plywood & then assembled using basic joinery techniques. It’s minimal in both aesthetic & process!

Like something straight out of a science fiction horror movie, the UB1K chair touches on the darker side of futurism with its alien, scaly, organic aesthetic. The tripodal design appears muscular… flexing to pounce at any moment. It’s a bit menacing but nonetheless captivating.

Thomas Feichtner’s Tram Chair concept for the historical TON brand is strongly inspired by the company’s time-honored production processes: first by the company’s own plant for the production of seat shells from molded wood, and second by its longstanding factory for the production of classic bentwood. Merging the bentwood and molded wood methods created a few constructional innovations in the process. Jump to the video to see how!

The support for the seat shell, for instance, does double-duty as a connection between the legs. The chair thus needs no further bracing, in contrast to classic bentwood models. Though this chair’s design is quite deliberate, its name came about as more of an accident. Employees of TON were quick to jokingly dub this model the “tram chair” due to its similarity to the plastic seats on the trams in Prague. Feichtner then decided to keep this charming working title as the product’s name.
