Elegant and sustainable: With "mudra", Brunner and Diez Office have reinterpreted the typology of the molded wood chair and created a functional piece of furniture that convinces with a variety of uses and a clear design language.
The molded wood chair is a classic of modern furniture design: since its development, designers have come up with countless variations of this typology. It is correspondingly challenging to add something new to the canon of forms – an approach that the contract furniture manufacturer Brunner from Baden has now consistently pursued in collaboration with the Munich designer Stefan Diez. The result is called "mudra" and is convincing as furniture with a clear design language and a wide range of possible applications. For this, a 3D molded wood technology with a high level of manufacturing complexity was used: "We wanted to extract what captures 70 years of plywood history in the best sense of the word. Mudra is all about evolution," says Stefan Diez about the design.
