Designed for Molteni & C, the Tea chair is a refreshing take on traditional dining chairs. The Italian luxury brand commissioned Jasper Morrison to design the chair. This marks Morrison's second creation for the lifestyle brand. The Tea chair is a tribute to lightness.
The chair's frame is made from solid eucalyptus, black oak, and natural oak. The simplicity of the design reveals the natural wooden texture of its frame, making it a versatile piece. The Tea chair fits seamlessly into a mid-century modern design scheme, yet it boasts an equally contemporary aesthetic. The upholstery on the seat is reduced to a surface rather than a cushion, giving the chair a surprising sense of comfort.
