The Workshop Chair, designed by Copenhagen-based designer Cecilie Manz for Muuto, captivates with its minimalist elegance and clean design language.
The combination of a thin back shell and a slightly curved seat gives the chair its distinctive appearance and a new perspective on archetypal Scandinavian design. The Workshop Chair is crafted using traditional techniques, with a focus on meticulous craftsmanship and special details. The frame and legs are made of sturdy solid wood, while the seat and backrest are made of compression-molded, laminated veneer. The result is a chair that convinces both aesthetically and functionally.
The Workshop Chair is available in two color variants: oak and black. Both variants impress with their natural choice of materials and the use of water-based lacquers. Particularly in the oak version, slight color variations may occur due to the material properties – a sign of the individuality and naturalness of this design piece.
