Two curved plywood shells define the silhouette of Têt. An essential construction where apparent simplicity reveals a strong formal identity shaped by volumes, proportions, and visual perception.
The backrest, wide and slightly enveloping, becomes the iconic feature of the chair. Like a continuous, neutral surface, it shapes the character of Têt, reinforcing its sense of volume.
The seat, also made of curved plywood, holds an upholstered cushion that introduces a softer, more tactile element. This detail softens the geometric rigor of the shell, completing the flow of the curves and contributing to a balanced comfort, both visual and ergonomic.
The two shells connect naturally to a four legged metal frame, light and rational. A system designed to meet the needs of flexible, shared spaces, especially in the hospitality sector.
Têt also addresses the more practical aspects of the design with ease: it is easily stackable, a feature often seen as secondary but essential in everyday use. Here, it becomes an integral part of the concept, supporting a design approach where efficiency and formal quality coexist without compromise.
Stackability translates into smarter use of space: the chairs stack neatly, reducing bulk and making storage and handling easier. A technical detail that becomes real value, especially in dynamic hospitality settings, where flexibility is a daily need.
In that sense, Têt clearly expresses its practicality: it works with the space, optimizes its use, and simplifies everyday actions, while maintaining a strong formal identity.
Light and functional, yet with a distinctive personality, Têt goes beyond simply meeting technical needs. It builds a more natural and immediate connection with the user, turning an everyday object into a presence that leaves a lasting impression.
