Primo Chair
Mattiazzi
The Primo chair for Mattiazzi has been designed using only the most stripped-back elements, with its plain square seat sitting atop four "strictly vertical" legs, chosen by designer Konstantin Grcic to give the chair a "strong architectural presence".
The back legs extend upwards to support a curved chair back, which has been slightly tilted to lend the chair some comfort, as well as contrast its straight lines. Made in Italy with sustainably sourced beech or oak timber.
