MC21 LEVA是一款极简主义椅子,由总部位于伦敦的工作室Fosters + Partners为Mattiazzi设计。LEVA是Foster + Partners设计的第一个木椅。受到桨叶形状和材料效率的启发,LEVA的设计符合人体工程学:其蒸汽弯曲臂由单件机加工木材制成,略微倾斜,在中间加宽,形成舒适的支撑靠背。LEVA看似简单的形状是复杂表面的结果,优化了椅子的批量生产。材料的少量使用源于可持续发展的理念 – 用更少的资源做更多的事情。LEVA依靠Mattiazzi的精湛工艺和精密机械制造出数量安静的木椅。“椅子仍然是典型的家具,也是最难设计的物品之一,需要对形状和舒适性有深刻的理解。它必须令人赏心悦目,

MC21 LEVA is a minimalist chair designed by London-headquartered studio Fosters + Partners for Mattiazzi. LEVA is the first timber chair designed by Foster + Partners. Inspired by the efficiency of the form and materiality of an oar, LEVA is designed ergonomically: its steam-bent arms, made of a single piece of machined timber, are slightly inclined, widening in the middle to form a comfortable, supportive backrest. LEVA’s seemingly simple shape is the result of complex surfacing that optimises the chair for mass production. The sparing use of material is rooted in the idea of sustainability – to do more with less. LEVA relies on Mattiazzi’s craftsmanship and sophisticated machinery to manufacture a wood chair that is quiet in numbers. “The chair remains the archetypal furniture piece and one of the most difficult objects to design, requiring a deep understanding of form and comfort. It must be pleasing to the eye, able to fit a variety of settings from living rooms to restaurants, comfortable to sit on, and durable enough to last generations,” said Mike Holland, Head of Industrial Design, Foster + Partners.
