With Nuy, Marco Acerbis interprets the vision of Et al. and turns it into a product. In this chair, the company’s philosophy becomes material, structure and shared experience.
The design stems from the idea of an inverted “Y”, a structural and symbolic sign that defines the ash wood frame. It is not a graphic element, but a precise building choice: it focus the shape, shares the loads and roots the chair in space.
The geometry gathers downwards, creating balance and stability.
An immediately recognizable shape, able to express solidity: the same one with which Et al. affirms its identity as a company that believes in itself.
The project takes shape through a conscious reduction. Clean lines, calibrated proportions and visible joints build a design that does not seek effect, but precision.
The wood defines the object’s frame, its architectural character and its relationship to the ambience, while process with CNC machines tells of an advanced, sustainable production approach, clearly looked towards the future.
The upholstered part fits onto this structure: generous thicknesses and ergonomic shapes accomodate the body in a natural way, letting in a softness which dialogues with the stricness of wood and enhances its expressiveness.
The result is a chair that combines technique and perception: a meeting point between structure and comfort, where sitting down finds its essence again.
