Between wood, design and ergonomics: Bross seats

Comfortable and with timeless charm, the chairs with wooden structure by Bross are perfect for bringing a note of warmth to any environment.

A living and timeless material, wood is one of the most popular choices for design seats, defining their warm and comfortable appearance as well as their aesthetic versatility, which makes them ideal for different contexts and projects, both in terms of language and intended use. Specialized in processing this material with artisanal attention to every detail, Bross declines it with the Aretha, Baia, Nora and Yuumi collections, designed respectively by Monica Armani, Marco Zito and Michael Schmidt.

The Aretha chairs, designed by Monica Armani, are characterized by soft and welcoming shapes. The legs, rounded and slightly inclined, are in solid wood, natural, stained or matt lacquered; seat and backrest are upholstered in fabric or leather. In the version with armrests, the backrest seems to fold towards the back to hide the upper part of the structure that is inserted into it, revealing great focus on details.

The solid wood structure is the heart of the Nora seats, designed by Michael Schmidt. The entire concept of this collection revolves around this element worked with meticulous craftsmanship. The rear legs, in natural or stained ash, extend to define the lower profile of the shell, taking on a decorative and functional value. The shell, which can be covered in fabric or leather, is embellished with stitching that defines all the parts.

Designed by Marco Zito, the Baia armchair collection is characterized by curved and enveloping lines. The solid wood legs, with a natural or lacquered finish, and a circular section, extend vertically on the back and front, delimiting the armrests. The shell is made up of a soft seat and a backrest that continues on both sides at the same height, quilted horizontally or vertically in the two versions provided by the collection, with a pattern of different thicknesses.

In Yuumi, the collection created by Michael Schmidt, everything is designed to enhance the craftsmanship of the ashwood structure: a curved wooden element with the dual function of backrest and armrests, which ergonomically accommodates the back. The structure, combined with the shell, creates an opening on the back of the seat, giving it lightness. The result is a dynamic play of solids and voids that makes the chair different based on the perspective of the observer.
