Sedia di legno
Made by Cappellini
Marc Newson ha disegnato la Wooden Chair per Cappellini nel 1988, all'inizio di una carriera che avrebbe definito una generazione di design industriale. Il pezzo è arrivato completamente formato: un guscio continuo di legno di faggio piegato che si legge come scultura prima di leggersi come mobile.
La forma segue la logica del materiale. Il legno curvato consente curve che il legno massiccio non può, e Newson ha sfruttato questa proprietà per creare una silhouette che appare quasi incredibilmente leggera. Il supporto deriva dalla geometria piuttosto che dalla massa, basandosi sulla forza naturale della venatura del faggio che attraversa ogni arco.

Domande Frequenti
What wood is used in the Cappellini Wooden Chair?
The chair is constructed from bent beech heartwood. Beech is chosen for its consistent grain and flexibility under steam-bending, which allows the continuous curved shell that defines the design.
When did Marc Newson design the Wooden Chair?
Newson designed the Wooden Chair in 1988, while still in his twenties. It was one of his first pieces to receive international attention and remains in production through Cappellini.
Is the Wooden Chair structurally sound despite its delicate appearance?
Yes. The form derives its strength from the geometry of the bent wood shell and the natural structural properties of beech. The curves distribute load in a way that makes mass unnecessary.
How does the Wooden Chair fit within Marc Newson's broader body of work?
Newson's practice is unusually wide-ranging, covering aircraft interiors, bicycles, watches, and public spaces. The Wooden Chair represents his approach at its most concentrated: a single material, a single gesture, no ornament.
What settings suit the Cappellini Wooden Chair?
Its compact scale and sculptural quality make it well suited to residential living rooms, design-focused offices, and gallery or hospitality environments where individual pieces are given room to be read as objects.
