Nendo: Twig

With its masterful combination of different materials and production techniques Nendo signed the twig chair project for Alias, launched during the last Salone del Mobile.

The concept of Twig is a seat with an aluminium base of generous proportions and legs that slant at a pleasing and dynamic angle. These aluminium tubes change material and become wood, in an organic connection with the armrests, also made of wood.

The collection sees five versions; five chairs, each of which is made up of different elements (solid ash processed with a numerical control procedure, or plastic material) which are then paired with the base made of aluminium.

Twig is available with a polished, anodised or white painted structure; with backrests in natural ash wood and the seat either in ash or covered in Kvadrat fabrics. The Twig 4 and Twig 3 comfort models also come with armrests and seats made entirely of a plastic material.

The most striking in terms of shape is the twig 4, where the design of the backrest is interrupted in a clean and graphic manner, like much of the Japanese designer’s work; the result is a piece of design which is both iconic yet bewildering.

Twig 3 recalls the elegant movement of the armrests but with greater comfort; an even higher level is afforded by the twig 3 comfort version thanks to its higher backrest.

twig 1, with its more traditional shape.

twig 1 is also available in the twig 1 comfort version with a more generous backrest.

Twig 1comfort finds an elegant overhanging armrest terminal and combines the look of the curved wood seats from the beginning of the century with the technical nature of aluminium. The result is contemporary yet refined.
