Finn, designed by Marcello Ziliani, is a chair and armchair with unusual proportions presented in different combinations of materials

Tension and balance, Nordic rigor and Italian “softness”. These are the apparently contrasting elements that designer Marcello Ziliani sought to reconcile in Finn, a series of chairs for Scab Design. Suitable for the contract and residential sector, Finn is a chair and armchair with unusual proportions presented in different combinations of materials. An interplay of contrasts between the sturdy, striking structure, a pure and essential architecture in the lines, and a comfortable, welcoming and enveloping seat. The frame in wood or laser-cut steel tubing, machined and welded with a robotized system, is combined with the elements of the wooden seat covered with high-quality fabrics expertly made by skilled craftsmen.
