Mdf Italia Universal Chair Collection
UNIVERSAL CHAIR COLLECTION
UNIVERSAL CHAIR COLLECTION
Designed by Jean Marie Massaud
Universal Collection is the name of the new family of seats designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for MDF Italia, which stands out for its impeccably elegant lines and extraordinary ergonomics.
In the chair and armchair with wooden backrest or fully upholstered, the three-dimensional back is the focal point of the seating.
The concept was developed from a study on the curving of the wood which led to the definition of an innovative, now patented technology in which industrial design and craftsmanship merge.
The design takes its name, above all, from the disc of the seat, the beating heart of the piece, designed to accommodate different types of bases and backrests, so lending itself over time to the development of an infinite variety of possible configurations, thanks also to the many textile combinations.
