Passoni TACTA L Solid wood chair with armrests

Presented in the evocative setting of Listone Giordano Arena, Tacta is the first and unprecedented chair designed by John Pawson.‎ The distinctive profile of the chair stems from the idea of stretching the legs like two sinuous lines of wood, which touch and separate to form the armrests and backrest, creating an elegant, comfortable and visually refined sculptural form.‎ From this simple strategy has emerged a chair that seems unmistakably modern, but also speaks quietly of its antecedents in the curved wooden chairs of Thonet and the organic lines of mid-century Danish furniture.‎ Made entirely of solid wood, the seat is the fruit of the company's established know-how and long tradition in working with this natural material and making the chair.‎ A savoir-faire born of decades of testing, experience, challenges and which gives shape to unique results.‎ The linear and minimalist design fully reflects the creative and life philosophy of John Pawson, known to an international audience for the simplicity of his architecture, based on essential elements, using materials as a means with which to explore solutions for concrete situations.‎ A long-standing advocate of sustainable and natural design, Passoni shares the architect's philosophy: the synthesis of a new awareness, with which Passoni expresses its lifelong identity, its real and deep knowledge of wood, and its genuine love of nature.‎ Further info from manufacturer on TACTA L Passoni
