“A line of metal elegantly embraces the chair, from the armrests and around the wooden backrest. The oak seat and backrest contrast with the slim metal tube that characterises the design’s shape”. This is how the designer Sebastian Herkner describes his new Pecan chair for Punt Mobles.
Last year (2022), the German developed the Rio collection for the brand: a range of sideboards and cupboards brimming with personality resting on two cylindrical solid marble legs, which he rounded off with lamps taken from the same collec- tion. This was already his signature style: striking the perfect balance between ma- terials and proportions which Herkner has done yet again. With a straightforward and basic, yet sophisticated, design, he knows how to stand out and create a mini- malist chair with a strong identity, something that is of the utmost importance for Punt.
It is an ultra-versatile piece that can be adapted to any interior design project, from living rooms to kitchens, restaurants or offices. The light and thin steel struc- ture contrasts with the wood, acting as a frame. Apart from its aesthetics, its ergonomics have also been worked on, making it comfortable while also being stackable.
The name Pecan comes from the shape of the backrest; an organic shape that look like pecan nuts. Inspired by nature, just like the material used in the chair it- self.
