The OVO chairs, designed by Foster + Partners, are carbon-negative solid wood pieces for any space. The innovative design is a collaborative effort between OVO and Benchmark. The collection comprises an armchair, a stackable side chair, and a lounge chair using European oak and American walnut.
The OVO chair collection, as a whole, combines simplicity and warmth. The versatile side chairs are suitable in various settings, such as the office or the living room. Available with timber or upholstered seats, it also features a lightweight and stackable design. The lounge chair is finished with soft edges and boasts a deep, generous seat with armrests wide enough to support a cup or a small laptop. In addition, the armchair is available with tactile, pillowed armrests for maximum comfort.
