Overview
Alvar is a seating collection that revisits woodcraft tradition through contemporary construction. The range comprises an armchair offered in two back heights (low back and high back). The frame is built from solid oak with a matte finish. A distinctive element is the backrest, formed by a sparse weave of cork cord that creates structural tension, contributing to comfort and visual lightness. The seat rests on a slatted frame and is padded for durable daily use.
