20.20 chair _ 2020
The first letter of the alphabet is the inspiration behind the new 20.20 collection. We started from the classic “h” silhouette, which in the collective imagination represents the object chair, and added the backrest at the point where the front legs intersect with the rear ones, resulting in an “A” profile.
Each part is cut from both curved and straight ash-veneered multi-ply plywood and is absolutely formaldehyde-free. This kind of wood is functional to obtaining geometries otherwise impossible with solid wood, in fact, multi-ply wood allows for material continuity where parts should be joined together. The four bolts placed between the backrest and the legs make the disassembling of the chair possible, contributing to correct circular waste management at the end of its life cycle. The strength of this product lies in the impeccable balance of the forms that make this chair perfect for every environment, both domestic and commercial.
We thought about a threefold declination for the 20.20 chair:
1. ESSENZA: uncompromising pure design.
2. PAD: for those who love upholstered seats.
3. SOFT: for those who want to further enrich the chair with an upholstered backrest and play with colourful fabrics and timber finishes.
Everything is strictly in the name of comfort.

Reminds me of my favourite Canadian chair designed by Jan Kuypers. Nipigon Chair circa 1950-60. I have his dining table and really want his chairs but they are pretty rare and expensive. I love that they look like folding chairs but are fixed, A frame design. Kuypers immigrated from the Netherlands after the war and worked for Imperial Furniture to create the Contemporary line of pieces to compete with the European imported modern teak danish furniture. Factory was in Stratford, a small town about 45 minute drive from where I live. Fun facts!
That’s really very interesting, we’ve never seen Jan Kuypers’ chair before. Thank you! Unfortunately, the Spanish company Kave Home has copied our chair exactly, one-to-one, and is selling it very cheaply. Greetings from Italy!
