The metal chairs are a magnificent example of the historic evolution of design in the Western world. After the industrial revolution, the production of furniture wasn´t just limited anymore to wood and upholstery. New materials emerged, offering new possibilities. Afterwards, different types of plastics were introduced, which was the start to fill dining rooms, living rooms and bars with colour.

Metal chairs

Metal chairs are a fascinating mix between modern and retro. The are indeed solid and strong, made of steel or aluminium, they are really “now”. But they are not made of plastic. They are inextricably linked to the principles of heavy industry. Although the shapes and structures have been developing over time to adapt to the current needs. Many of these chairs have become favourite pieces in bars and restaurants. They´re the best option to resist daily and continuous use, as well as weather conditions on terraces, gardens and outdoor areas in general.

Our catalogue of metal chairs

At SuperStudio we are delighted with the typical industrial vintage beauty of the metal chairs. Our catalogue includes iconic pieces inspired by designers like Harry Bertoia, Jean Prouvé or Charles & Ray Eames. Respectively, the serie of Bertoia chairs in different finishes, the Demiro Plywood chair and the Dron chair. We also offer models that remind us of the most famous creations of international prestigious furniture firms. Our collections Terek, Moskov or Greek are based on the designs by Jean and Xavier Pauchard for the French firm Tolix. And our Neo chair is the colourful version of the well-known Navy chair, made by Emeco. Originally meant to supply a resistant, durable and practical chair to the United States Navy Army during the Second World War. Our catalogue also contains chairs that will surprise you for their originality. The Pitiusa chair, for example, recalls to some extent the famous Wishbone chair by Hans J. Wegner, provided with a more sober, rectilinear style and, above all, with a lacquered aluminium structure, which allows the chair to be used outdoors, unlike the original wooden version. Other metal chairs have an extremely contemporary look. The Cubic chair is based on the angular shapes that are characteristic of the works of the German designer Konstantin Grcic. But why should we continue? It´s much better to discover yourself our most “solid”, and at the same time beautiful, section.
