MŪ191 Chair
Information

Drawing on both the original design of MŪVEK’s table legs and the elegance of precedents such as Gio Ponti’s Superleggera, this versatile chair expresses sophisticated structural connections.

Its defining aluminium sections, reduced to their minimum structural requirements, emphasise the material's seemingly contrasting attributes of strength and lightness.

Complementing this silhouette, the hand-stitched leather details lend the piece a textured rhythm.

Care & Maintenance

The MŪ191 Chair is crafted from aluminium with leather upholstery.  

For everyday maintenance,dust the chair with a soft, dry cloth. For marks or spills, use a cloth lightly dampened with mild soapy water, then dry immediately. Do not use steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals.

Leather upholstery should be wiped regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If the leather feels dry, apply a natural, colour-neutral leather cream using a cloth. Avoid spot cleaning, harsh brushes, cleaning agents, vacuuming directly on the leather, or sharp objects. Keep leather away from direct sun and heat sources, which can cause drying and cracking. Note that pets and non-colourfast clothing can permanently mark or discolour leather.

Damage caused by abrasives, harsh cleaning products, sharp objects, pets, or improper repairs is not covered under warranty.

Manufacturing

The aluminium elements of the MŪ191 chair are laser-cut from solid aluminium sheets. Each component is then carefully hand-welded and refined by a single craftsperson.

Once assembled, the chair is stability-tested before receiving a durable powder-coated finish. It is then entrusted to a skilled leather artisan, who hand-stitches the leather seat and backrest directly onto the frame.
