Leva is the first timber chair designed by Foster + Partners.

Inspired by the efficiency of the form and materiality of an oar, Leva is designed ergonomically: its steam-bent arms, made of a single piece of machined timber, are slightly inclined, widening in the middle to form a comfortable, supportive backrest. Leva's seemingly simple shape is the result of complex surfacing that optimises the chair for mass production.

The sparing use of material is rooted in the idea of sustainability to do more with less. Leva relies on Mattiazzi's craftsmanship and sophisticated machinery to manufacture a wood chair that is quiet in numbers.

The chair remains the archetypal furniture piece and one of the most difficult objects to design, requiring a deep understanding of form and comfort. It must be pleasing to the eye, able to fit a variety of settings from living rooms to restaurants, comfortable to sit on, and durable enough to last generations.

Mattiazzi

Udine-based Mattiazzi stands apart from its competitors. While many furniture manufacturers rely on third party factories, Mattiazzi operates its own machines using its own skilled craftsmen. The company has been working in this honest way since 1978, when it was founded by brothers Nevio and Fabiano Mattiazzi. Along the way the company has built up a network of workshops that can support its extensive product range. Every Mattiazzi workshop has its own focus – from milling to lacquering – and a particular process always belongs to a specific part of town.

Their highly specialised craftsmen operate the most advanced machinery available to the wood industry, disproving the modern myth that mechanised manufacturing is not a craft.
This localised, and exceptionally professional, approach has allowed it to produce a collection of items that are second-to-none in terms of both quality and style.
