Wooden Chair
The Cappellini Wooden Chair by Marc Newson turns solid beech into a continuous, flowing armchair.
Steam-bent wooden strips create a double curve through the seat and back, with visible screws and reinforcing members expressing how the form is assembled. A natural oil finish keeps the focus on the wood and the design's rhythmic, open structure.
Every detail, considered.
