Actiu introduces the URBAN chair family

With an interview with designer Javier Cuñado, creator of the Actiu URBAN chair, Spanish professional furniture manufacturer Actiu introduced its URBAN range of chairs: “It is a nice, light and comfortable chair; officially delicate, generous in its proportions, technological and robust”.

What is the most significant characteristic?
It’s main and unique characteristic is that it has a frame that supports multiple interchanges amongst its various components such as: legs, supporting frame, seats and arms etc Therefore triggering a lot of specific configurations for different users.

That structure begins with a cast aluminum frame upon which are added different options of seats and backs, legs and cantilever and finally the arms giving way to countless possibilities.

  1. We have a concept of an aluminum frame upon which the seat and back rest and which allows the inclusion of four legs and arms. With this concept we build four legged chairs.
  2. We have a second design concept which places a central support made of injected aluminum underneath the seat frame. With this, we build our seats and benches with central supports.
  3. Finally there is a third concept developed to create variants of cantilever chairs and without arms. (Only available in monoblock chairs)
