Archetype-A

Archetype-A is a wooden chair designed by Mario Alessiani that celebrates the company’s origins and know-how. The design is as simple as possible. Nothing more than four legs, a seat and a back. This draws attention to the wood, Billiani’s material of choice, reducing the form to its purest essence. The dynamic nature of the chair derives from the shaped front of the back rest, which is tilted to support the seat, making it more comfortable and ergonomic. The form of the seat also works in this direction, softening the rigour of the design in the name of greater comfort. Archetype-A is available all in wood or with a padded seat, and is stackable.
