Successful proof of great experimentation and daring, the Wooden Chair by Marc Newson was born of the desire to push the manipulation of wood to its limits.
Wooden Chair is a modern, innovative seat, yet it is also warm, cosy and comfortable. The structure, made of oiled natural solid ash wood, is fluid and continuous, almost organic. The beech wood planks, bent with hot steam to form a double curve, are supported by two horizontal reinforcements: 2 at the ends and 3 in the seat area, all fastened with visible screws.
