The Fabbrica Chair

The Fabbrica chair, Branch's second chair design for Ghidini, is a study in simplification of both form and construction. Drawing on the iconic lines of the classic chair silhouette, Fabbrica's frame is constructed of a single casting repeated on two sides. Rather than utilizing aluminum extrusions which require welding and complicated finishing, Fabbrica celebrates the simple I-beam section, giving the chair structure with minimal weight. Echoing the simplicity of the frame, a single seat surface in both leather and fabric is attached at three points allowing the thin silhouette to suspend and flex to the user's position.
