Each chair is conceived in a brutalist spirit, with straightforward joinery and a strong emphasis on the raw materiality of the wood.

The slightly reclined T-shaped backrest gives the chairs a silhouette that is both archaic and modern, recalling the reinterpretation of traditional rural furniture that emerged during the 1970s. Thick seats and irregularly shaped legs further emphasize their handmade character.

The chestnut wood displays a warm patina and expressive grain, enhancing the authenticity and tactile presence of the ensemble.

A striking set that sits at the crossroads of vernacular craftsmanship and brutalist design.
