Hasta La Ideas

Humble materials, humble furniture: This Maasto Dining Armchair, designed by Ronan Bouroullec, uses both solid pine and pine plywood.

“Simple and strong, the Maasto Chair by Ronan Bouroullec is an ode to pine. Maasto is instantly archetypal, a hardworking seat for daily dining at home or in public spaces with a seamless profile and brutally honest design.

“Maasto’s uncomplicated silhouette is created by combining plywood sides for strength, reduced bulk and simplicity of construction, with a solid pine seat and back for durability.

“Our specially-made Finnish plywood features an exaggerated grain, producing an intoxicating hyper-pine aesthetic.”

The Maasto is in production by Finnish furniture brand Vaarnii.
