Naïve Chair
by etc.etc.
It feels as if the NAÏVE chair could have been drawn by a child – six sticks and one seat. That’s all there is to it!
This playful chair is stripped to the minimum: a carved solid ash seat and six legs of equal length to screw. It takes pitch-perfect accuracy to design its simple looks. Every single detail is carefully studied, the length and angles of the legs are engineered to obtain the best proportions and to offer superior ergonomics and a great sitting position. All this and the added flexible foam backrest make NAÏVE a surprisingly comfortable chair. It takes a minute to assemble it, and another one to flat-pack it back into a small box for transportation or shipping. As an extra feature, the easily interchangeable parts enable the user to play with the chair’s color palette, from classical solid wood to a mix of joyful tones.”

Inesa Malafej and Arunas Sukarevicius have been working together since they began their design studies at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. In 2012, while continuing their studies at the Royal Danish Academy, they started their own studio, entitled “etc.etc.” During the past two years, “etc.etc.” has already been working for several brands in Europe, an accomplishment recognised by industry’s prestigious “IF” and “Red Dot” awards.
“In our work we hold a deep respect to the crafts, traditions, and evolution of every object. Together with this we are constantly looking for the next step in making them new, better, different, adapting it for today’s environment, technology and society.
We believe that design should enrich things, making them matter”
