monk armchair metal

The easy chair’s shell is composed of two bent pieces of plywood upholstered in fabric, underneath which lies a simple structure of massive wood or metal. The armrest forms part of the seat and the whole shell appears to float independently of its relatively inconspicuous support, thus paying homage to retro furniture and the play between typologies. Monk is available in two variations, as a chair, and as an easy chair. Both share the same upper part of the structure, whilst the lower part (legs) is higher and upright in the chair, but lower in the easy chair. Together, the two Monks merge the daily functions of work and contemplation.

The armchair, chair, and coffee tables from the Monk collection are paying homage to retro furniture in the play between typologies. By the simple form and selection of material in massive wood and fabrics they merge the daily functions of work and contemplation. Monk collection has been completed with the dining table which thematically adds to the corresponding chair. The elegance of the table made of massive oak has been achieved by narrowing wooden legs towards the bottom, and tabletop towards the edges.
