Wanders: Very Wood /129

Working with Very Wood for the first time, Marcel Wanders showed two chairs in Milan that convey his style in a silent, discreet manner, without shouting.

Madera: the soul of wood, nobly expressed

Madera crafts the very essence of wood through the ingenious process of precomposed veneering, resulting in surfaces of captivating visual harmony and inherent sustainability. From flawlessly coordinated color palettes to intricate inlays that whisper stories, each door stands as a genuine tribute to the natural world.

Presented in Milan, the Loop chair and Century seating system designed by Marcel Wanders for Very Wood use a language that is quiet and discreet.

Both the Loop chair with its ash base and back in steam-curved rattan as well as the chairs in the Century range with upholstered seat and wooden back, articulate the company's philosophy in a simple, refined fashion.

According to Wanders, "Both the Loop chair with its ash base and back in steam-curved rattan as well as the chairs in the Century range with upholstered seat and wooden back, articulate the company's philosophy in a simple, refined fashion. at a party, you can't have everyone completely silent as it wouldn't be much of a party but you can't have them all shouting at the same time either"; continuing with a similar metaphor, "life would be horrible if it were always Monday morning but it can't always be Friday night. The problem is that many design proposals feel like Wednesday afternoon and that's a bit boring".

"In a small-scale interior design and more particularly in contract projects, the brief is to personalise the project with quality accents at sustainable prices" explains the Dutch designer who in the Italian manufacturer specialised in seating and furniture for contract use has found a partner able to satisfy the demand for functional design made with natural materials and artisan attention to detail.
