The Cover Chair is a sophisticated take on a timeless form, hinting towards archetypical designs and Scandinavian traditions.

The Muuto Cover chair, designed by Thomas Bentzen for Muuto, is a contemporary interpretation of a classic wooden armchair. Cover chair comprises a light, rounded veneer shell and strong wooden legs that give it an organic, grounded appearance. Thanks to its clear and timeless design, Cover will find its place by the dining table both at homes and restaurants, or as an individual side chair in any room.

Designer Thomas Bentzen wanted to create a comfortable wooden armchair with a strong personality, and it took him three years to develop a perfect version of the chair. Cover chair was named after the thin, moulded veneer covers which work both as armrests and structural elements of the chair.

With a sturdy beech or oak wood frame, and ingenious curved backrest that stretches into armrests, Cover is appealing on its own as a statement chair or as a set in a professional or private setting.

 

The Muuto Cover chair is made from all wood (PU lacquered oak) and no metal. The wood is folded over the chairs legs and back rest. This technical innovation of the wood layering locks the chair together. The Muuto Cover Chair is the result of playing around and pushing the boundaries of how to work with molded plywood.
