moritz putzier crafts ‘taptap chair’ for furniture brand artu

German Designer Moritz Putzier has unveiled a collection of wooden chairs and stools crafted exclusively for furniture brand Artu. Designed to accommodate a modern lifestyle, the Taptap chair blurs boundaries between a chair and a stool, presenting a versatile and stylish furniture option for everyday use. With an unconventional low backseat, the chair offers comfortable use while accommodating various seating positions, and melds into any environment — be it a home, office, or any other setting — offering flexibility of use. Expressing organic geometric shapes and vibrant yet warm monochromatic hues, Taptap’s refined surfaces embrace the natural textures of solid ash wood.

With the Taptap collection, designer Moritz Putzier sought to question the conventional appearance of a chair with a ‘surprising’ aesthetic while retaining a focus on functionality and comfort. The Taptap chair distinguishes itself with a low backrest and wide tripod legs, sculpted from solid ash with color stained surface finishing. Its form embodies an imaginative amalgamation of pure geometric shapes and harmonious proportions, resulting in a distinct minimalist design. ‘With its playful conception and unconventional character, this chair becomes a captivating focal point, capturing the attention of anyone who encounters it,’ notes the team at Artu.

The collection’s versatility is further enhanced by its adaptability to diverse interior styles and lifestyle needs. Whether placed in a modern, minimalist setting or a vibrant, eclectic space, the Taptap chair merges with various schemes to complement its surroundings.
