The apreture chair

Description

The Aperture Chair draws from a playful lineage of mid-century plywood design, where circular cut-outs weren’t decoration but a way to lighten the form and give structure a quiet rhythm. Here, the perforated side panel becomes the chair’s voice — a soft geometry that opens the piece, lets it breathe, and gives it presence without weight.

In Systems of Presence, some pieces feel grounded yet open, sculptural yet familiar. The Aperture Chair carries that balance. Its thick bent-wood arms and deep seat offer a slow, settled comfort, while the circles shift it into something more expressive — a chair that interacts with light, shadow, and the room around it.

Echoing the work of Italian and Scandinavian plywood experiments of the 40s and 50s, this piece is reproduced with warm curves, sturdy proportions, and a contemporary finish. It’s a chair that holds space gently but confidently, becoming an anchor without ever feeling heavy.
