Rasmussen MR01 Initial Chair for Gubi.
Created by woodworker Mathias Steen Rasmussen, the MR01 initial chair unites traditional craftsmanship with original ideas to create a form that is familiar and yet strikingly modern. Executed in oak and natural linen rope, the open triangle profile of the frame is constructed without a single screw, relying instead on artisanal cabinet-making techniques such as finger joints and wedged mortise and tenon joints. This approach makes the chair's construction and materiality entirely visible, lending the piece a sense of honesty and highlighting the craftsmanship involved.
The Chair is hand-woven from 90 meters of rope, using a method Rasmussen developed himself, which locks the rope into the frame, available in oiled oak or oiled walnut wood.The rope fastens in place simply by running through four holes, in a manner that is rustic and yet elegant and understated. The Initial chair can be placed alone or in pairs in the home, while it functions superbly in longer rows or clusters in hospitality settings.
Price is per item. A bouclé pillow is included with each chair.
