Born from the attics and undercroft of New York’s Park Avenue Armory, the Armory Chair distills Herzog & de Meuron’s architectural rigor into a quietly commanding form. Inspired by utilitarian furnishings discovered during the building’s restoration, the chair reflects a language of function: square wooden profiles, traditional joinery, and a bent backrest that gently cradles the body. Its split seat allows for effortless stacking, offering adaptability without compromising its grounded presence. Handcrafted in Italy, the chair belongs to La Magie du Bois—a collection by Marta Sala Éditions that honors the poetry of purpose-built design.
