International. The company specialized in office furniture, Actiu, received the IF Design Award 2015 for its Wing chair. This chair is characterized by being a lightweight, easy to transport and stackable chair, it also offers a more comfortable version thanks to the possibility of adapting the padding.
According to Actiu, this piece of furniture is the result of the natural technological evolution of the traditional wooden chair, adapted to more efficient production processes and innovative technical advances. Manufactured by gas injection, the result is parts with extra compaction, a significant reduction in weight and the minimization of possible deformations.
The designers point out that "the Wing chair is a very mature project. The complexity lies in the audacity of providing a chair with simple lines and controlled proportions with a generous wraparound back. That aesthetic balance was our great obsession until we reached the final result."
For his part, Vicent Berbegal, president and founder of Actiu, stressed that this award represents confirmation that it is necessary to continue looking for more efficient, sustainable and innovative manufacturing methods.
