VENEDIA INTRODUCES

Puparin

Collection: Puparin

Category: Seating

Venedia - Puparin — Puparin's design is inspired by the namesake Venetian boat, agile and lightweight, traditionally used by fishermen. It is designed for dynamic and informal spaces, easily adapting to various contexts thanks to its practicality and discretion.

The chair is part of the Venedia project, which reinterprets the Venetian tradition of woodcraft in a modern key, combining aesthetics, functionality, and production technology. It shares the same basic structure as the Comacina chair, distinguished by the unique design of the backrest.

Puparin is a stackable chair made of ash wood, characterized by its essential structure and a slim, linear backrest.

In the Venetian Lagoon, the maestri d’ascia – master shipwrights – shape wood with millimetric precision, creating lightweight, durable, and essential boats. Each vessel is designed with a specific function in mind, yet they all share the same origin: the craftmanship that transform raw material into form, function into beauty.

From this same principle, the project for Venedia comes alive: a family of stackable ash-wood seats that adapt to spaces just as Venetian boats adjust to currents and canals.

The base structure is a minimalist frame, a skeleton that accommodates different backrest variations to meet different needs, just as boats are built for transport, fishing, speed, as well as daily work.

Two names, two souls: Puparin and Comacina.
