The “Monument” collection is a body of monolithic concrete chairs, all of which derive from variations around a basic module. These chairs are characterized by their linearity and the various ways in which they respond to the single action of sitting.

​

They are made with a bulky material which is traditionally utilized in construction, yet they possess an unexpectedly thin profile. This creates a visual dichotomy which presents each chair as an architectural performance and a refined object rather than a sole piece of furniture.

​

The combination of the lightness and the sturdy, imposing character of the chair evokes a sense of grandeur and elegance, reminiscent of a majestic architectural edifice.
