Born as the natural architectural partner to the Supported table, Tank is named for its uncompromising solidity and its powerful, defensive silhouette. It represents a sophisticated dialogue between the raw power of industrial engineering and the refined elegance of Italian craftsmanship.

Engineering & "Sartorial" Soul
Reflecting Nasuti’s 35-year background in the high-fashion elite, the chair is constructed with a 'sartorial' approach where the hidden structure is as important as the exterior. Beneath the warm, light-laminate wood surface lies a robust square tubular steel skeleton. This internal core ensures that the chair is virtually indestructible and offers a level of stability that traditional wooden chairs cannot match. The visible technical screws are not just functional; they are a deliberate aesthetic choice that celebrates the 'Industrial-Chic' soul of the piece, making the engineering part of the decoration.

Artisanal Production in Parma
Each Tank chair is handcrafted in the historic artisanal district of Parma, Italy. This region, world-renowned for its mechanical excellence, is the perfect birthplace for a piece that blends joinery with metalworking. Every joint is hand-finished, and every surface is meticulously treated to ensure a tactile experience that balances the cold strength of steel with the organic warmth of wood.

Bespoke Customization
True luxury lies in the ability to tailor a piece to its environment. The Tank chair offers extensive bespoke options:

Architectural Palette: The internal steel frame can be powder-coated in any RAL color, allowing architects to create a monochromatic 'Total Look' or a vibrant, rhythmic contrast.

Material Selection: While the standard version features high-quality light laminate, a Bespoke Service is available for versions in Solid Wood (Oak, Walnut, or other premium essences), quoted through private negotiation.

Dimensions: Dimensions can be adjusted to meet specific ergonomic or space requirements while strictly preserving the original design proportions.

The Tank chair is more than a piece of furniture; it is a functional sculpture designed to last generations, bringing a piece of Italian 'Invisible Architecture' into the most exclusive contemporary interiors. See less
