The ADAM Chair explores the relationship between exposed structure and soft enclosure, combining the architectural precision of solid French oak with the tactile warmth of natural leather. Conceived as both a sculptural object and a deeply crafted seating piece, the chair balances robustness with an unexpected sense of lightness and openness.
Its structure is composed of generous oak sections assembled through complex double through mortise and tenon joinery, reinforced with visible wedges. These oversized structural intersections give the chair a grounded and enduring presence, openly revealing the intelligence and discipline behind its construction. Rather than concealing the joinery, ADAM celebrates it — transforming structural necessity into a quiet ornamental language embedded throughout the piece.
The wooden frame carries a strong architectural rhythm, softened by subtle curves within the backrest and seat supports that gently accommodate the body. Every proportion feels deliberate and restrained, allowing the warmth of the oak grain and the precision of the handcrafted details to become the chair’s defining expression.
Draped around this exposed wooden architecture, the leather seating element introduces softness, tension, and fluidity. Available in three different finishes, the suspended leather skin wraps around the structure while intentionally preserving visibility of the oak beneath it. The pattern is carefully designed to reveal the chair’s internal construction rather than hiding it, allowing light, shadow, and material to coexist in layered transparency. This dialogue between the rigid frame and the flexible leather creates a dynamic balance between protection and openness, permanence and movement.
Primitive yet refined, structural yet tactile, the ADAM Chair exists as an object deeply rooted in craftsmanship and material honesty. A sculptural seating piece where construction itself becomes beauty, and where every visible joint, curve, and tension line speaks of the human hand behind its making.
Available in custom finishes.
