From the simple stone seats of the Neolithic to the richly decorated thrones of medieval history, the journey of the chair has been a quest to elevate everyday life into something extraordinary.
A sinuous structure made entirely of birch plywood, 'Betula' is the first of EFFEGIDUE DESIGN's prototypes. The seemingly simple but surprisingly fluid shape of the chair is revealed with each layer precisely designed and assembled by hand. Striking a balance between ergonomics, artistic aesthetics and functionality, the complex curvature of each slightly varied streak is designed for the comfort of the human form despite its complicated joinery.
