q/wood armchair
"Since always, Kartell has been using human intelligence to transform raw material into magical furniture. Now, Kartell is using the same talent to transform the slightest bit of wood dust, the smallest film of wood, the humblest wood residue, into furniture. Elegantly timeless. The great Ray and Charles Eames proved the modernity of the intelligence of plywood; more than 50 years later, technological progress has allowed us to offer even more with even less. That's the Smart Wood collection." -Philippe Starck
The Kartell Smart Wood Collection was born from a love for design, the continuous search for the new and the innovative. The creative concept developed by Philippe Starck began with the choice of a material, and that material was wood - the noblest and the oldest, transformed by Kartell into an industrial product.
Using patented technology, the wood is worked with a mold designed to bring the curvature of the panel to the very edges, creating a seat with sinuous roundness, combining the beauty of the wood and its ability to connect to nature with extraordinarily ergonomic lines.
The collection features pieces of furniture that mark a new chapter in the history of the brand, becoming part of the wider "Kartell loves the planet" project, aimed at enhancing good practice for sustainability throughout the production process and in the use of the raw material with low environmental impact.
The Q/wood chairs feature unique woodworking that combines timeless elegance with contemporary shapes. Available in basic veneer or light or dark stave oak, with frame in chrome plated or painted steel. Seat can be specified in either white or black mass-dyed thermoplastic technopolymer.
