Originally purchased at the renowned dutch design store metz & co., these distinctive chairs combine architectural precision with an innovative approach to traditional woodworking.

the chairs feature a striking geometric construction, with horizontal wooden slats forming the seats and backrests, supported by an elegant cantilevered frame. Particularly remarkable are the layered laminated plywood joints, which create a fascinating interplay of lines, angles and structural details.

the warm natural wood tones and beautifully visible grain emphasize the honest use of materials, while the open construction gives the chairs a remarkably light and architectural appearance.

their strong geometric character and unconventional construction reflect the principles of constructivist design, where structure, functionality and aesthetics become one.

a rare and highly decorative pair, equally appealing as functional seating and sculptural design objects.
