Precise lines, soft volumes, and timeless elegance define the new project designed for hospitality and contract spaces
Some objects seem to have always belonged in our spaces. They fit into any context with natural ease. The new OZ chair by Et al. belongs exactly to this category. It features an immediate, recognizable, and classic shape that speaks to different environments while keeping its strong identity.
The project is designed by Marco Acerbis. His cultured and rigorous style reflects on the chair as a universal shape. The result is a contemporary object where formal precision blends with quality materials and daily comfort.
Structure and Geometry: The Light Touch of Metal
The design of the OZ chair by Et al. starts with a painted metal frame. This frame defines its simple and rigorous geometry. The tapered tubular structure visually lightens the object, making its proportions sleek.
This strong, modern structural line reinterprets the classic iconography of the chair. Inside this geometric frame fits the padded volume. This adds a softer, sensory dimension to the design. In fact, a continuous upholstery covers both the seat and backrest. It also wraps around the lower part of the shell. This design amplifies the feeling of comfort and creates a beautiful contrast between the precise metal and the soft fabric.
Functionality and Tailored Details for the Contract Sector
Beyond its sophisticated look, the project focuses on practicality and durability. These features are essential for public and commercial spaces.
The key strengths of the collection include:
- Easy maintenance: The cover is fully removable, making cleaning quick and simple.
- Customization: A wide choice of finishes and fabrics allows it to match any color palette.
- Versatile range: Available with or without armrests to adapt to different layout needs.
Thanks to these features, the OZ chair by Et al. fits perfectly into restaurants, hotel lounges, waiting areas, and shared spaces. It brings a sense of calm and aesthetic rigor wherever it is placed.
