Cover Armchair

Armchair with folded wood

Designer Thomas Bentzen says of his chair: & “Cover was born out of a desire to create a comfortable and contemporary armchair made of wood. I wanted to achieve a fresh and lively look in the laminated wood, while giving the frame a stable and grounded appearance. & ” After three years of trial and error and hard work, the result is the Muuto Cover Chair, a lightweight yet sturdy armchair that takes the use of wood veneer to the extreme: A layer of wood is folded around the armrests—a playful, subtle detail made possible only by modern woodworking techniques—and one that was actually born out of necessity. Initially developed without the eponymous “ & ” “Cover &,” designer Thomas Bentzen realized that the chair’s armrests were too narrow and uncomfortable. Thanks to the addition of this small detail, the Cover Chair offers optimal comfort. Muuto crafts the Cover Chair entirely from oak. The wood folded around the armrest also serves as a fastening for the legs. Upon request, the Muuto Cover Chair is available in colored and upholstered versions. Just like the natural wood version, the colored version of the chair also captivates with its natural look—since the wood’s grain is not concealed by the & “ & ” finish.
