Chair La Benda

It is a modern armchair created with a unique XIX century technology of bending beech wood under the pressure and steam. LA BENDA fascinates with the subtleness of construction and feasts your eyes with harmony and incredibly gentle form. It seems light as if it was floating in the air. A beech rod, subtly bent in several places, is a characteristic element of the design. It plays a role of a lynchpin for both front legs of the chair and at the same time it supports the rear part of the backrest. The visual opposition – the legs in the back are straight and set firmly on the ground. The author’s vision for LA BENDA was inspired by the silhouettes of partners in a dance. We could assume that this contrast between these furniture elements is well presented by a woman. She moves daintily and then trustfully embraces her partner’s shoulders in their tango.
