The impetus to develop the “Mudra” chair came from the opportunity to add an innovative contribution to the decades-long history of plywood chairs, together with chair specialist Brunner and the leading manufacturer of moulded wood parts.
Even the first models had the thematic approach of not combining the seat shell with an arbitrary base, but rather of designing both elements in such a way that they merge into an organic unity.

The generous opening of the loop in the back area creates a high degree of visual permeability and overlapping of different spatial levels when the chair is used in large gatherings. Thus MUDRA offers a distinctive aesthetic of spatial layering especially when it is used in larger numbers.
Making of MUDRA for BRUNNER

Plywood chair
Die Motivation, den Stuhl “Mudra” zu entwickeln, ergab sich aus der Möglichkeit, gemeinsam mit dem Stuhlspezialisten Brunner und dem führenden Hersteller von Holzformteilen einen Beitrag zum jahrzehntelangen Erbe der Sperrholzstühle leisten zu können.
Mit einer neuen, vom Unternehmen entwickelten 3D-Technologie lassen sich dünne Furnierschichten dreidimensionaler und elastischer als je zuvor formen. Mudra ist leicht, flexibel, stapelbar, alle Einzelteile sind leicht austauschbar. Der Sitz kann nachträglich gepolstert oder zum Reinigen des Bezugs abgenommen werden. Wir glauben, dass Mudra damit ein neues Kapitel in der Geschichte des Schalenstuhls aufschlägt. Mudra wird in Deutschland zu einem wettbewerbsfähigen Preis hergestellt, in dem Bewusstsein, dass evolutionärer Fortschritt auf der Basis bewährter Traditionen in Verbindung mit zeitgenössischem Know-how möglich ist.

Plywood chair
The motivation in developing the “Mudra” chair stemmed from the opportunity to contribute to the decades-old heritage of plywood chairs together with chair specialist Brunner and the leading manufacturer of moulded wood parts.
Using a new 3D technology developed by the company, thin layers of veneer can be shaped more three-dimensionally and with greater elasticity than ever before. Mudra is light, flexible, stackable, all individual parts are easily interchangeable. The seat can be subsequently upholstered or removed for cleaning the cover. We believe that Mudra thus opens a new chapter in the history of the shell chair. Mudra is manufactured in Germany at a competitive price, in the knowledge that evolutionary progress is possible on the basis of a proven heritage combined with the highest technical know-how.
