Nude Chair by Tino Seubert

Four planes intersect at different angles to form Nude Chair, a linear and sophisticated seat designed by Tino Seubert, a German designer based in London. 

The project draws inspiration from the radical and sensual aesthetics of the 1970s and the emphasis on the body, freed from conventions and rules. It was a time when form became both a political and personal expression, and design explored fluid volumes, tactile surfaces, and diverse proportions. 

Nude Chair expresses a refined synthesis of structure and sensuality, capable of embracing, supporting, and defining the body within a space. 

The result is a bold seat where contemporary shapes coexist with vintage colour combinations. The surfaces in direct contact with the body—seat, backrest, and armrests—are made of FENIX® Cacao Orinoco, matt and velvety to the touch, offering a soft, skin-like sensation. The remaining surfaces—outer sides and frame—are done in Formica® Sol F3209, a bright yellow colour with a luminous character. 

“The planes gently flare and curve to create natural resting points for the arms and neck, echoing the fluid forms typical of 1970s design. The chair features a striking contrast of two colours selected from palettes of the same era,” says Tino Seubert.
