Guided by the desire to create coherent and balanced designs, the meticulous work of Mario Ferrarini has shaped a new chair with refined and synthetic proportions.
The shape of its metal structure represents a clear tribute to the elegance of the compass and the perfection of the draftsman’s square typically found in the architectural arena.
Ferrarini’s new design is a convenient option for projects that require excellent functionality and durability over time (educational spaces, coffee shops, meeting rooms, homes…), and can additionally be stacked in large quantities.
Metaphorically, Quadra is made up of two profiles that manage to complement each other in perfect harmony. Two dancers in dialog with the architectural space, narrowing their position and creating movement measured in the shape of a structure, to which is added a wooden seat as a counterpoint and source of warmth. Without any visible screws, it offers the sturdiness of a chair ready for heavy use.
