mdf italia PRESS Wooden chair

The Press chair epitomises research in seating design.‎ “When working with any material,” comments designer Benjamin Hubert, “we like to push its potential to the maximum.‎” Press is named after the production process that allows complex shapes to be obtained from a three-dimensional veneer.‎ The curvature not only makes the body stronger while keeping it light, but also offers a visual and tangible feeling of comfort.‎ The wood emulates the shapes of upholstered seats, revealing the design’s innovative nature.‎ Its polished and minimalist body is designed to stand the test of time and to fit into both residential and contract contexts, with a focus on the hospitality sector, including hotels, bars and restaurants.‎   Shell The concept was developed from research into the curvature of wood and the shell is obtained by pressing in a mould, resulting in a shell that is light, strong and comfortable.‎ Made of beech plywood* in bleached and black-stained finishes or Canaletto walnut veneer*.‎ Bases The chair is available with 3 bases: 4 legs Made of metal tube and powder-coated in matt graphite grey X054.‎ Stackable.‎ Butterfly base Made of metal wire and powder-coated in matt graphite grey X054.‎ 4 wooden legs* Made of beech plywood in bleached and black-stained finishes or Canaletto walnut veneer.‎   *Wood from well-managed forests.‎   The product is only intended for indoor use.‎ Further info from manufacturer on PRESS mdf italia
