Gepolsterter Stuhl aus Metall | MDF Italia

MDF Italia

ARCHIE

ARCHIE is a chair characterized by a slim and minimalist structure that blends Italian heritage with the inventive spirit of the design studio.

Archie is a chair designed for MDF Italia by the architecture studio Yabu Pushelberg, with offices in Toronto and New York. Inspired by the geometric shape of the arch, it features slender and elegant legs that extend upwards to embrace the curved backrest in a single, seamless line. The visible joints between the structure’s planes underscore a meticulous process of refinement, balancing visual lightness, structural integrity, and comfort.
With Archie, the studio pushes MDF Italia’s legacy of technical innovation even further, creating a sleek, minimalist structure that blends Italian heritage with the studio’s inventive spirit.
Archie is designed to be fully removable and disassembled. Originally conceived as the first piece in an evolving system, the chair marks the start of a project that will grow over time.

Seat and backrest
The comfort of the seat, combined with the adaptive softness of the backrest, is a defining feature.
The seat is made of plywood sourced from sustainably managed forests, fitted with elastic webbing and upholstered with PET fibre and a differentiated-density polyurethane insert. The backrest is made of co-moulded thermoplastic material and polyurethane.
The fabric or leather cover for both seat and backrest is removable.

Structure
The structure is made of steel rod legs with a 16 mm diameter, tapered at the top.
Available in matt graphite grey and gunmetal painted finishes.

The product is only intended for indoor use.
