CARINZIA Ash chair with integrated cushion

Vienna’s cultural legacy and its many famous designers have often been an inspiration to other creatives.‎ In Wittmann’s case, as owner of the rights to great designer´s back catalogue, this often manifests in a predilection for quoting works from Josef Hoffmann’s oeuvre.‎ When it came to the compact and beautifully self-contained lines of Carinzia, LucidiPevere took Hoffmann’s Fledermaus chair as their point of departure.‎ Its perfect proportions and the sheer simplicity of each of its elements gives visual expression to the designers’ aesthetic.‎ LucidiPevere and Wittmann are united by a passion for handcraftsmanship.‎ On top of this comes the urge to not allow established design boundaries to go untested, but instead continue to seek new ways to implement captivating lines.‎ Something they achieve to great effect with Carinzia through exceptional comfort in a compact space: the pocket-spring core of the seat offers long-lasting tableside cosiness for extended gatherings.‎ The upholstered seat cover is framed by precisely executed piping, while its curved form is echoed in the backrest.‎ All of the wooden elements that make up the frame are seamlessly jointed to create an uncomplicated and straightforward visual impression.‎ Different choices of woods and a broad palette of colours open up a wide range of options for the frame.‎ With freely selectable coverings, all in all Carinzia presents myriad faces to the world, which can be combined with one another at will.‎

The chair frame is made of standard black ash, but on surcharge it can be made of solid natural walnut or open-pore ash lacquered in 6 Wittmann colors: RAL 1002 sand yellow, RAL 8015 chocolate, RAL 9016 traffic white, RAL 5014 dove blue and RAL 6007 dark green.‎
