Newood Side Chair
Made by Cappellini
Brogliato Traverso designed the Newood Side Chair for Cappellini as a study in structural economy. Solid ash wood is shaped into a frame of deliberate slenderness, where the grain itself becomes part of the visual language.
The silhouette is spare without being cold. Each joint and taper reflects a considered approach to weight and form, resulting in a chair that reads as both architecturally precise and quietly warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the designers behind the Newood Side Chair?
The Newood Side Chair was designed by Brogliato Traverso, a Venice-based duo known for their attention to material honesty and formal restraint. Their work for Cappellini consistently draws on a dialogue between craft tradition and contemporary proportion.
What wood is used in the Newood Side Chair?
The chair is constructed from solid ash wood, a hardwood valued for its pronounced grain pattern and structural resilience. The bleached ash finish softens the natural tone while allowing the wood's character to remain visible.
Is the Newood Side Chair suitable for dining use?
Yes. Its proportions and structural integrity make it appropriate for dining settings, though its refined silhouette also reads well in living rooms, studies, or as an accent chair.
What design tradition does Cappellini draw from?
Cappellini has been a platform for forward-thinking Italian design since the 1940s, consistently collaborating with emerging and established international designers. The brand occupies a space between experimentation and rigorous craft.
How does the Newood chair compare to upholstered dining chairs?
The Newood is an all-wood side chair, offering a lighter visual presence and easier integration across varied interiors. Without upholstery, the focus remains entirely on the geometry and materiality of the ash frame.
