“Archie is a sculptural statement, where the backrest and armrest merge into a unique and fluid form.” - George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg.
Archie is a chair designed for MDF Italia by the architecture studio Yabu Pushelberg, with offices in Toronto and New York. Inspired by the geometric shape of the arch, it features slender and elegant legs that extend upwards to embrace the curved backrest in a single, seamless line. The visible joints between the structure’s planes underscore a meticulous process of refinement, balancing visual lightness, structural integrity, and comfort.
With Archie, the studio pushes MDF Italia’s legacy of technical innovation even further, creating a sleek, minimalist structure that blends Italian heritage with the studio’s inventive spirit. Archie is designed to be fully removable and disassembled. Originally conceived as the first piece in an evolving system, the chair marks the start of a project that will grow over time.
The fabric or leather cover for both seat and backrest is removable.
The structure is made of steel rod legs with a 16 mm diameter, tapered at the top.
Available in matt graphite grey and gunmetal painted finishes.
