THE COLLECTION FORCINA BY LEON RANSMEIER COMPRISES A CHAIR, AN ARMCHAIR AND A STOOL WITH A STEEL FRAME, A WOODEN SEAT, AND A BACKREST. THE COLLECTION IS ROUNDED OFF WITH A TABLE.

The shape of Forcina’s solid wooden seat and backrest echo, the comfortably sculpted surfaces on the top of the seat and the front of the backrest. The stainless steel frames are CNC—bent and enable efficient manufacturing with few parts and minimal welding. The frame reaches beyond the backrest and, like the hairpin, offers easy handling.

— The Italian word forcina means “hairpin” in English. The Forcina collection has a pragmatic feminine character. From the outset, it was considered within the context of a café or a restaurant. Historically, café chairs often have a curvilinear form influenced perhaps by the iconic history of Viennese café furniture or the sweetness of the pastries served there.

The shape of Forcina’s solid wooden seat and backrest echo the comfortably sculpted surfaces on the top of the seat and the front of the backrest. The stainless steel frames are CNC—bent and enable efficient manufacturing with few parts and minimal welding. The frame reaches beyond the backrest and, like the hairpin, offers easy handling.

The collection includes chairs, armchairs, square and round tables, low stools, and barstools. All items are available in natural oak, natural ash, or black stained ash. The frames come either in a blasted stainless—steel or a black lacquered finish.

Mattiazzi

Udine-based Mattiazzi stands apart from its competitors. While many furniture manufacturers rely on third party factories, Mattiazzi operates its own machines using its own skilled craftsmen. The company has been working in this honest way since 1978, when it was founded by brothers Nevio and Fabiano Mattiazzi. Along the way the company has built up a network of workshops that can support its extensive product range. Every Mattiazzi workshop has its own focus – from milling to lacquering – and a particular process always belongs to a specific part of town.

Their highly specialised craftsmen operate the most advanced machinery available to the wood industry, disproving the modern myth that mechanised manufacturing is not a craft.
This localised, and exceptionally professional, approach has allowed it to produce a collection of items that are second-to-none in terms of both quality and style.
