About Project

Andrea came to life first through the backrest, which is her defining feature. All of the other elements serve to support the curved structure.

Originally envisioned in white oak, Andrea works with multiple materials: from cherry to walnut to black oak and even lacquered ash in different colorways.

Andrea perfectly blends form and function from every angle. The backrest and arms are a singular piece defined by a continuous curve. Four cylindrical legs, at a slant, create the frame for the chair, holding both the backrest and the seat with dowels. This makes it so there is no visible hardware. The design of the seat is molded below to accommodate the shape of the dowels, providing a subtle unity between the pieces.

• Short description of the project:

  Andrea is a dining chair inspired by the simple act of sitting. The arms coming to rest, the back slightly slanted for support, and the flow of a body looking for comfort. It all comes together with a subtle yet powerful curve that is Andrea's defining feature.
