The Maritime Chair by Benjamin Hubert for Casamania
British designer Benjamin Hubert has created the Maritime chair for Casamania.
.
Description:
Inspired by traditional wooden shipbuilding techniques maritime is a solid wood range of chairs that are skinned internally with a formed plywood shell.
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 production. 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.

Pleasing to look at and it looks comfortable. I am intrigued by the joins and how you get the strength you need to keep the legs from splaying apart.

agreed @Lyman Design. The seat may be structurally robust but I wouldn’t trust the legs

Looks almost exactly like the merano chair just lightened up a bit. The wood frame for the seat and back looks nice. Great craftsmanship.
