Pitta is a folding chair designed to seamlessly integrate into daily life, whether in use or neatly folded. While ordinary folding chairs often feel temporary and struggle to blend into a space, Pitta maintains a graceful presence at all times. Its U-shaped leg design allows one leg to fit perfectly into the frame when folded, creating a clean and distinctive silhouette.
Ultimately, what makes Pitta unique is that its very structure serves as the design. Bending laminated wood into a U-shape not only accommodates the legs but also strengthens the frame. Balancing beauty, practicality, and strength, Pitta offers a fresh vision for what folding furniture can be.
