assetta_TE: A Chair that Blends Elegance and Innovation

An Innovative and Original Chair Inspired by Bauhaus Architecture and Design

I believe that this chair is innovative and original. This project is inspired by bauhaus architecture and design. The work, the research, and the experimentation seen from the design concept are conveyed by the pureness of forms and evidence of the function.

assetta_TE is a simple and smart chair, with sharp and essential forms. The formal elegance comes from an old and noble material like wood and tempered glass. The chair consists of two wooden elements: the backrest support and the seat/support, joined together through a tempered glass element. This unique design feature sets it apart from other chairs.

The chair's construction is a testament to the designer's attention to detail and craftsmanship. The media section of the wooden elements is thicker to allow the insertion of the tempered glass, which serves as both a connection and a structural element. The wooden parts or the external outlines get thinner to lend the chair lightness and grace.

With dimensions of Width mm 450 x Depth mm 500 x Height mm 700, assetta_TE is designed to provide comfort without compromising on style.

Walter Iafrate, the mastermind behind assetta_TE, started this project in September 2016 in Rome. His vision was to create a chair that seamlessly blends elegance and innovation, and he has certainly achieved that.

It is worth mentioning that assetta_TE has been patented with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) under the number 003368745-0001, ensuring its uniqueness and protecting the designer's intellectual property.

This exceptional chair has also been recognized for its excellence. In 2017, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious accolade is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The assetta_TE chair stands out for integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings, contributing to a better world.

assetta_TE is not just a chair; it is a piece of art that adds sophistication and style to any space. Its combination of wood and glass, along with its essential and elegant design, makes it a truly original and dynamic chair.
