SETA is a stackable and armless timber chair, designed by Foster + Partners Industrial Design in collaboration with the Italian manufacturer Mattiazzi. The chair brings together an honesty of materiality with a deep understanding of CNC technology to create a unique piece of furniture. Made from sustainably sourced ash timber, the lightweight chair is strong and enduring. Each surface is machined and curved to define its form.

As wellbeing in the workplace has come into sharper focus and the desire for warmer, more tactile furniture grows, the SETA chair offers a solution that is suited to a variety of settings from office and commercial to domestic uses.
