Solid
Fashioned from natural teak and brushed teak nero, the Solid collection is both an invitation and a bold statement. The design of the chairs, stools and bar stools perfectly balances technological innovation and authentic craftsmanship. Its graceful wooden frame and delicately crafted plush seating simultaneously suggest solidity and comfort – a sensation that is further amplified by its sensual shape, which molds to the body.
BackBeyond the aesthetics
With a practical understanding of product usability and an eye for fine details, Lionel Doyen (1978) takes a slightly different approach to design and development. Specialised in service, product and industrial design, the French designer aims to create on a more personal and experimental level, always keeping the customer’s experience in mind. His style can best be described as innovative and timeless, as he consistently looks beyond mere aesthetic appeal. He designed the Kumo & Solid collections for Manutti, blending design with everyday comfort. In 2013, he launched his own design studio.
