Plectrum is a plywood chair defined by the tension between minimal geometry and fluid form. Simplicity is key. Its structure is reduced to three points of contact: two front legs and a central twin leg at the back, creating a stable tripod that distributes weight with structural clarity. This unconventional three-leg scheme eliminates visual excess while enhancing balance and spatial lightness.
The seat and back echo the soft triangular silhouette of a guitar plectrum. This recurring rounded yet precise geometry generates a continuous and dynamic dialogue between sharp definition and organic curvature, transforming a simple planar surface into a sculptural yet ergonomic gesture.
Composed of seven CNC milled plywood flat elements held together by fourteen black Allen bolts, Plectrum is an hymn to simplicity. It expresses the logic of digital fabrication while preserving the warmth and grain of natural wood.
Lightweight yet resilient, minimal yet expressive, geometric yet ergonomic, Plectrum resonates as a wooden instrument tuned for balance, where engineering accuracy and fluid design converge in a refined contemporary seating form.
