The sculptural character of the chair is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also practical, durable, and adaptable. Its timeless design guarantees perfect harmony with various types of decoration and architecture, from contemporary to classic to modernism. The Benjamin chair can be made with a seat made of natural straw or upholstered of fabric or natural leather; Its wooden structure can be made of various types of hardwood such as walnut, oak and ash. Allowing users to customize the chair to suit their personal preferences or the décor of their surroundings, ensures that the chair remains relevant and attractive for years to come.
The wood goes through a series of machining processes until it reaches its final shape of each part of the chair. The heavier processes, where there is greater material removal, are done by automatic machinery, others that require greater precision are carried out by CNC machines. In the assembly of the pieces, a refined manual work is done that requires the skill of an experienced carpenter. Its shapely feet connect to the seat in an unusual way, conveying lightness and sophistication.
