A moulded plywood chair explores balance between lightness and good ergonomics

Olivia is a light universal wooden chair that successfully balances its slender structure with a comfortable sitting experience. The design explores the balance between lightness, sturdiness and ergonomics in moulded plywood, resulting in a light yet sturdy structure that does not compromise good ergonomics. The simple and compact form represents contemporary Nordic design. The gentle curves and refined details create a harmonious, sympathetic and elegant design.
