MDF Italia

Universal Chair

Jean Marie Massaud
Designed 2022

Universal Collection is the name of the new family of seats designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for MDF Italia, which stands out for its impeccably elegant lines and extraordinary ergonomics. 
In the chair and armchair with wooden backrest or fully upholstered, the three-dimensional back is the focal point of the seating. The concept was developed from a study on the curving of the wood which led to the definition of an innovative, now patented technology in which industrial design and craftsmanship merge. The design takes its name, above all, from the disc of the seat, the beating heart of the piece, designed to accommodate different types of bases and backrests, so lending itself over time to the development of an infinite variety of possible configurations, thanks also to the many textile combinations.

The different declinations of Universal highlight the extraordinary ability of this collection to fit into the most diverse contexts, from residential to contract, in more classical or contemporary style environments, always remaining unique and original.

Designer

Jean Marie Massaud

Jean Marie Massaud graduated at ENSCI in 1990 (National Institute of Industrial Design); after his first intuitions, he longed for synthesis, reduction and lightness. His interest concerned various aspects of design: from furniture to industrial products and accessories.

In 2000 he opened the studio Massaud and started to extend his activity to architecture and development strategy. He worked in the most varied sectors, from B&B Italia, Axor Hansgrohe, Lancome, to Renault.

With his creations he aims to shape man and the surrounding environment. This unlimited inventor is committed, also politically, and tries to turn any project into an experience of life and economic scenery where desire and responsibility come together.
