Mati Chair

Mati is a dining chair with armrests, made entirely in solid wood with an upholstered seat. The design inspiration for Mati is about the pursuit of security. The name Mati (meaning mother in archaic Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian) was chosen to symbolize the chair’s motherly seating comfort.
Mati features a graciously curved armrest that envelopes around an elevated backrest. Another design feature are the chair’s legs, curved on the inside, but cut flat and hand-carved on the outside. The carving pattern was inspired by the microscopic view of the cellular structure of wood, enabling the human eye to admire the material and to appreciate that it comes from a living organism, which makes a point about the importance of sustainability. Design: Sebastian Herkner.
