Lotus

The Lotus collection includes conference chairs and bar stools inspired by the elegance of a lotus blossom. Made from sustainably sourced oak or walnut veneer, each piece features a unique backrest gap, adding natural beauty and style to cafés, dining rooms, restaurants and office interiors at an accessible price.

Stackability

The conference chairs can be fitted with plastic buffers for safe and practical stacking. An excellent solution for flexible arrangement and space saving.

Thoughtfully shaped wooden shells

The wooden shell with oak or walnut veneer lends the Lotus chairs natural elegance and a warm look. The fine surface treatment allows the structure of the wood to stand out and liven up any place. In order to keep the material as natural as possible, the wooden shells of the Lotus chairs are shaped from traditional veneer. This manufacturing process is much more friendly to the veneer than the shaping of technologically modified 3D veneer.

FSC® certified wood

The wood used in the production of our shells comes from FSC® certified, sustainably managed forests. As a result, every piece combines the aesthetics of a natural material with consideration for the environment.
