Et al. introduces Nuy

The new chair designed by Marco Acerbis

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.

Expression of a “new us”, of an identity that is strengthened and renewed through a project, Nuy by Marco Acerbis reflects this attitude. A deliberately self-centered but also inclusive choice that reveals a courageous intent: the brand steps forward to place people back at the centre, giving a human soul to the product. As a result an object naturally aligned to the spirit of Et al. is born: confident, welcoming, bold in looking ahead and open to relationships.

A formal direction that also reveals a design and entrepreneurial purpose, reflecting a clear and determined will to manufacture a product with a strong identity.

“Placing a ‘new us’ at the centre means making the company’s values concrete: believe in its own identity, recognise hospitality as natural field and looking to the future with courage,” states Francesca Tonti, CEO of Et al.
