The design reflects lightness and grace, with flowing lines that evoke a sense of serenity and connection to the sky. Additionally, the chair is influenced by the natural flow of rivers, reminiscent of the intricate patterns formed by waterways seen from above. Celina embodies a timeless presence, inviting contemplation and comfort through its thoughtful, nature-inspired design. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Crafted from sustainable, legally sourced wood, the Celina Chair merges durability with sophistication. The wood's natural hardness and deep color create a striking contrast with the chair’s gentle, organic curves, which are achieved through precise machining techniques. The chair features no visible screws, highlighting the precision of its joinery and the purity of its design. The piece represents a fusion of nature, comfort, and precision, offering a timeless addition to any space. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The Celina Chair is designed for effortless interaction. Its ergonomic curves naturally guide the user into a comfortable seating position, enhancing relaxation. The absence of visible screws allows for a seamless aesthetic, while the chair’s solid structure provides reliable support. Its simplicity in design means that no assembly is required, making it easy to integrate into any space. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The Celina Chair project commenced in June 2024 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and was completed in November 2024. The chair is scheduled to be exhibited at the Abimad fair in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in July 2025. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The chair is made from solid reforested wood, legally sourced and suitable for indoor use. The seat features eco-friendly leather and recycled foam.

The wood is sanded multiple times to achieve a smooth finish and treated with a non-toxic varnish. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width: 550 mm x Depth: 535 mm x Height: 810 mm. The chair is packaged in a double-walled cardboard box with FSC certification.
