description: When SOLO was developed, the aim was to incorporate as much advantages as possible coming from the Mattiazzi production process and combining it into a cost efficient, versatile unique chair. We can happily say now that this aim was successfully reached and SOLO is cost efficient like no other series in the Mattiazzi collection. Yet, it still upholds the quality level of handicraft and the love of details its predecessors so successfully marked. T his robust yet simple and refined furniture family was sought to be used in cafés and restaurants, which is why it offers great flexibility - both in use and in the variations offered. However, though simplicity was the outspoken key feature we were almost forced into, it was very important to find the right nuance and tune the right detail as means of accurately forming the right character for each piece. Though in every project special details plays here a key role, here they became even more important since we could not have too many if wanted to maintain our cost efficiency. Such details and a special feature of both chair and stool is a leather inlay perfectly matched in the seat surface. Offering wider colour matching possibilities as well as the great tactile qualities of natural leather. Playing further with SOLO’s versatility and offering a wider range of possibilities, we continued and developed together with a local craftsman a finely sawn leather upholstery for the chair’s backrest. Design Collections: The project is part of the permanent collection of: - CNAP (Centre National des Arts Plastiques) –The national French design collection. - Die Neue Sammlung München – The International Design Museum Munich, Germany.
