<<As with many words, CHIARO has several definitions: clear, bright, and straightforward.>> Leon Ransmeier
The design for the FACILE came about as a result of our quest to build a bridge between the product ranges in the Mattiazzi collection.
Primo epitomizes the archetypal chair. Its design comprises of only the most basic elements —four legs, seat and backrest—.
<<We designed an object in plain wood but not in regular plain wood, the quality of the wood literally makes the object, like the best piece of meat would make the refinement of a dish.>&g
The smooth geometry that joins the backrest, armrests and legs is the formal language of injection—molded plastic, and it’s surprising to see in wood.
The concept and charm is a canvas sling suspended from a frame: the most simple construction and a surprisingly comfortable seating experience.
I observed that the power of the robot, the repetition of the machine and the skills of the craftsmen already have synchronised relationships at Mattiazzi, where each process is as carefully select
MEDICI is conceived as a low chair with a comfortably reclined posture. Its generous dimension gives the chair an embracing confidence.
"The expression of craftsmanship here lies in the careful execution, the choice of wood, the finish, the perfection.
The gently carved wooden pieces are held in place by bent metal rods - while wood remains the main actor, the metal parts play a fundamental role in the construction.
"If you see it from the side, you could say that the frame is almost typographic, like a letter. The lines offabric cord are also very graphic; yet these lines distort as the body sits down.
"The sustainable approach was to separate the materials and specify the components: wood, recycled feathers and fabric. Then I asked myself what comfort was, a backrest and a seat to sink into.
