benjamin hubert: maritime for casamania
'maritime' by benjamin hubert for casamania in blue and grey lacquer
drawing on traditional wooden shipbuilding techniques 'maritime' is a solid wood range of chairs that are skinned internally
with a formed plywood shell.
designed by benjamin hubert for italian furniture manufacturer casamania,
the construction technique where the supports are visible on the outside allows for a distinctive design language that is in harmony
with the material and its production process. the ribs allow for a structurally robust chair with minimum use of material.
'maritime' is comprised from solid and laminate ash and offered as an upholstered option. to enhance the construction details
the range is also offered in translucent dyed colourways.
