C-chair is a chair made of plywood – its shape comes from studies on the ergonomic and durability qualities of this material. Instead of adding upholstery or cushions, the back and the seat are cut in a way that maximises seating comfort. The back and seat bend under the weight of the user, adjusting to the shape of the body. That is why when sitting in that chair you get the impression of a flexible and soft support.
