The German seating furniture manufacturer is taking a new model along with it to the furniture fair in Milan this year: a wooden chair called Kagu by designer duo Jehs+Laub that captures the essence of modern seating furniture. <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Perfectly shaped and almost sculptural, the Kagu chair now stands<\/strong>, elevated on a pedestal and illuminated, in the colourful historic surroundings of the COR apartment in Brera after a two-year development phase. Its design is a tribute to clarity. Harmonious lines, precise geometries and pared back material usage give the chair an air of lightness, yet also robustness. The slender wooden legs, connected by a central stabilising wooden cross, provide the architecture for the seating surface, which appears to float in the frame. Under-seat suspension enhances user comfort and adds movement<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Design achieves a state of perfection when there is nothing left to take away<\/strong>
The wooden legs, which extend up into the armrests, are organically integrated into the upholstered seat shell<\/strong>. Markus Jehs and J\u00fcrgen Laub call this extraordinary design concept \u2018fusion\u2019, adding: \u201cAlthough we left out all unnecessary wood, we still managed to create a compact chair with a high percentage of wood. The high-padded shell is clamped into the base frame<\/strong>, where it swings freely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal appeal<\/strong>
Kagu<\/strong> effortlessly blends into a wide variety of living and working spaces \u2013 both as a stand-alone piece in a minimalist loft apartment or as part of a large dining room ensemble. It has a discreet yet distinctive presence and, despite the purposefully subtle aesthetics<\/strong>, it is full of character. This design object will stand the test of time over the coming decades as an expression of individuality and sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n

Perfettamente modellata e quasi scultorea, la sedia Kagu<\/em> <\/strong>si erge su un piedistallo illuminato, nel colorato contesto storico dell\u2019appartamento COR a Brera<\/strong>, dopo una fase di sviluppo durata due anni. Il suo design \u00e8 un tributo alla chiarezza: linee armoniose, geometrie precise e un uso essenziale dei materiali conferiscono alla sedia un aspetto leggero, ma al tempo stesso robusto. Le esili gambe in legno, collegate da un elemento centrale stabilizzante, creano l\u2019architettura su cui poggia la seduta<\/strong>, che sembra fluttuare nella struttura. Un sistema di sospensione sotto la seduta ne migliora il comfort e aggiunge un senso di movimento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Il design raggiunge la perfezione quando non c\u2019\u00e8 pi\u00f9 nulla da togliere<\/strong>
Le gambe in legno, che si estendono fino a formare i braccioli, si integrano organicamente con la scocca imbottita. Markus Jehs e J\u00fcrgen Laub<\/strong> definiscono questo straordinario concetto di design fusion<\/em>, aggiungendo: \"Pur eliminando tutto il legno superfluo, siamo comunque riusciti a creare una sedia compatta con un'alta percentuale di legno. La scocca imbottita, molto avvolgente, \u00e8 fissata alla struttura di base, dove rimane libera di oscillare.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versatilit\u00e0 senza tempo<\/strong>
Kagu<\/strong><\/em> si inserisce con naturalezza in una vasta gamma di ambienti, sia domestici che lavorativi \u2013 come pezzo unico in un<\/strong> loft minimalista o all\u2019interno di una grande sala da pranzo<\/strong>. Ha una presenza discreta ma distintiva e, nonostante l'estetica volutamente essenziale, esprime una forte personalit\u00e0. Questo oggetto di design \u00e8 destinato a resistere alla prova del tempo nei decenni a venire, affermandosi come simbolo di individualit\u00e0 e sostenibilit\u00e0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"cor-minimalismo-e-maestria-artigianale-incontrano","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"Il minimalismo incontra l'artigianato: COR presenta un nuovo pezzo alla Milan Design Week","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
