Made from [stained beechwood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silva-collection), the Filo chair is [wrapped in rope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs) to create a graphic sensibility. Using robust lines to contour its frame, the chair boasts a typographic appearance from its side profile. The French brothers applied their knowledge from past projects to create a structure that maximizes strength and [minimizes wood waste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair). Ronan Bouroullec explains: "Filo is very well composed [chair] in the sense of its lines, the tension, and the radius, but it's a bit more square than our usual work." The chair is best suited around a rectangular table to create an appealing geometric design.
