MR01 armchair in solid oak - Gubi

Beautifully honest and light both in weight and in expression, the first piece by new Danish talent Mathias Steen Rasmussen is a striking interplay of craftsmanship, comfort and sustainability. Originally conceived as a lounge chair he could also use for meditation at home, Rasmussen's combination of wood and rope creates a simple, flexible chair that feels as though it floats while remaining connected to the ground. The open triangular frame, available in walnut or oak, has been built without using a single screw, while the 90 metres of hand-woven natural linen rope that make up the seat and backrest add lightness to the design.

The MR01 Initial Chair offers comfort all year round. The rope construction allows air to circulate during the warmer months, and all it takes is a blanket or a sheepskin to make it cosy throughout the winter. For added comfort in a wide range of sitting positions, a pillow covered in bouclé wool is included. The Initial Chair can be placed on its own or in pairs at home, while it works superbly in longer rows or clusters in hospitality settings. The simplicity of the MR01 Initial Chair's design and materials gives it the longevity and durability that lie at the heart of Rasmussen's philosophy.
