Wu chair by studioPANG for Artisan

Quietly elegant, the defining feature of this piece is its oval backrest – minimalist in dimensions yet ergonomically contoured to perfection. The backrest not only defines the chair’s visual identity but also ensures functional comfort, qualities that are mirrored by the similarly curved seat. Both elements are interconnected by vertical supports of spherical cross-section, reinforcing structural integrity while maintaining a sense of lightness. The design’s overarching principle is curvature, present in every detail. The curves soften the form, eliminating sharp edges and imbuing the chair with a gentle yet commanding presence. The nearly invisible joints enhance this effect, creating a seamless impression of unity and compactness. Crafted from solid wood, the chair also celebrates the raw beauty of natural materials, which are accentuated by a level of craftsmanship that transforms simplicity into an art form.
