REFINED OUTLINE — OUTLINE DINING CHAIR / SUMI ASH - LEATHER & FABRIC

The Outline Dining Chair is designed by Norm Architects for the Japanese furniture brand Ariake. True to its name, the Outline chair is defined by the precise, graphic quality of its silhouette — a clean, considered form that draws the eye through its structure rather than its mass. This version combines a Sumi ash frame — ash treated with traditional Japanese Sumi charcoal finishing — with an upholstered seat in leather or fabric, bringing together tonal depth and tactile comfort in a single, considered design.

DESIGN: Paolo Cappello & Simone Sabatti.

Ozz becomes light and stone. He moves from domestic intimacy to the center of the house, showing himself as the protagonist of the space with a large arch that draws attention to himself. The design begins in the concrete and ends in the lampshade. In the middle, the stem flexes with a scenographic parabola that lets the light fall.
