Mono High-Back Chair
“Mono” is a master of adaptation.
It appears familiar, but yet it exudes a very special aura. The classic, elegant representative of Wittmann upholstery carries the thumbprint of its designer Marco Dessí and impresses with maximum adaptability. You might think that an upholstered seat on angled wooden feet framed by a rounded back would seem banal since there are already countless numbers of similar chairs. “Mono”, however, clearly distinguishes itself from this group by refining the familiar to perfection. You can feel that “Mono” was created by hand. It is obvious that the lines and curves were carefully traced out during its design. The gentle, yet dynamic curves are testimony to absolute precision.
Its gentle curves are not only pleasing to the eye. They carefully support the buttocks, back and shoulders. The foundation is provided by a stable, but light wood frame with handmade suspension and an elastic crossed surcingle. Four layers of foam rubber in the seat and back and the crowning with fine cotton padding, complete the perfection of seating comfort. The clearly visible effort was worth it. When you sit on the “Mono” you simply cannot imagine sitting better or more elegantly. That is a genuine Wittmann. “Mono embodies the perfect balance between calm and strength, serenity and dynamism, sensuality and precision.”
Wittmann
Wittmann creates treasured pieces: They are the product of an uncompromising approach to craft and design – two elements that have been uniquely cultivated by Wittmann right from the very start. Wittmann is adept at setting trends, creating milestones in the history of furniture.
Unmatched craftsmanship, as well as meticulous selection and working of fine materials, provide the basis for executing new ideas and forms. To bring them to life, Wittmann regularly partners with the greatest names of their time. And it is not uncommon for long-term cooperations to be the outcome: collaborators including Johannes Spalt, Jean Nouvel, Matteo Thun and Paolo Piva set the direction that Jaime Hayon, Sebastian Herkner and Luca Nichetto have now seamlessly picked up on, taking it into a new era.
