No-Glue Armchair
Made by Exteta
Designed by Massimo Castagna
Massimo Castagna's No-Glue Armchair takes its name from its founding principle: a complete absence of adhesives in its assembly. Every joint, every connection relies on precision engineering and the inherent integrity of the materials themselves. The result is a chair that is as honest in its construction as it is resolved in its form.
Designed for outdoor life, the No-Glue Armchair belongs to Exteta's broader commitment to furniture that ages with grace rather than against it. The approach reduces chemical dependency in production and allows each component to be disassembled, making maintenance and longevity genuine design considerations rather than afterthoughts.
