Mina Chair by Tommaso Caldera for WLegno

A chair made entirely in solid ash wood, Mina has a minimal seat and is reduced in its proportions. It has about 10-15 cm less bulk than normal chairs, without sacrificing the elegant form that suggests the style of certain seating designs by Giò Ponti. The design research has focused on keeping the right balance of form, measurements and comfort. Mina is one of those products that are imagined to be of true ‘service’, performing at their best in tight spaces, as is often the case in French bistros where space is exploited to the utmost (to squeeze in the largest possible number of customers). Certain constructive details give the chair a unique character. For example: the very precise relationship between the back and the rear uprights (in which the back is completely enclosed), the solid wood of the seat, and the color variations specified with extreme care by the designer. It made of black lacquer RAL 9004 and was designed by Tommaso Caldera and produced by WLegno in 2018. The solid ash wood measures 400 x 330 x 790 mm.
