The Tate Wood Office Chair was designed by Jasper Morrison, the British designer known for his philosophy of Super Normal design, which prioritizes understated utility over ornament. Morrison has collaborated with Cappellini across multiple seating and furniture projects.

What is a waterfall seat edge and why does it matter?

A waterfall seat edge is a forward-sloping, rounded front edge on a seat pan that reduces pressure on the underside of the thighs during extended sitting. It is a considered ergonomic detail that improves circulation without requiring mechanical adjustment.

What does Greenguard Gold certification mean for a chair?

Greenguard Gold certification, issued by UL, verifies that a product meets strict chemical emission standards for indoor air quality. It is particularly relevant for contract and residential interiors where air purity is a health consideration.

Is the Tate Wood Chair suitable for contract or commercial use?

Yes. The combination of Italian construction standards, Greenguard Gold certification, and Cappellini's production rigor makes the Tate Wood appropriate for both residential and commercial environments, including private offices and hospitality settings.

How does the Tate Wood differ from earlier versions of the Tate Chair?

The current Tate Wood is an updated reissue that introduces new finish options, including grass-green with polished aluminum, while preserving the proportions and structural logic of Morrison's original design from over two decades ago.
