Latest Seitz collection reinvents traditionally crafted Swiss furniture
Promotion: Swiss furniture brand Seitz creates modern yet distinctive pieces for the home, aiming to uphold, yet reinvent traditional Swiss design.
Established in the Swiss Alps, Seitz was founded by designers Kevin Seitz and Rob van Wyen, who aim to create locally crafted furniture pieces built to last.
The brand's latest collection is crafted with precision and intends to spotlight the company's roots in craftsmanship while reinventing traditional techniques.
"This functional minimalism belies deep consideration with reverence and restraint in a commitment to furniture making for slow living," said the studio. "Social responsibility and respect for the environment are intrinsic to our approach."
As part of Zurich Design Weeks, from 4 to 14 September, visitors can preview the Seitz collection at the city's Monocle Café.
On 10 September, Kevin Seitz will speak at a panel on furniture made for slow living, followed by drinks at the Seitz x Monocle installation at Dufourstrasse 90, Zurich.
Read on to learn about Seitz's latest collection:
Chalet
The Chalet seating range includes a bench and stool, handcrafted in solid timber and free from metal or screws.
The collection aims to reinvent the stabelle – a traditional seat seen in the Alpine region, which is held together by four hand-turned legs and joinery.
Limmat
Designed for the bedroom or living room, Seitz's Limmat Occasional Tables include a side table, which is designed to appear different at various viewing angles.
The table can be placed on its own or arranged in pairs with the range's coffee table, which shares the side table's circular shape.
Appenzeller
The Appenzeller series also includes a sideboard and table, which both explore the dialogue between the applied arts and fine arts.
Both pieces are influenced by 18th-century handicrafts from eastern Switzerland, including Appenzeller belts known for their ornate metal fittings.
Helm
Helm includes a two-and-three-seater sofa and chair, which are influenced by Helmhaus, a cultural institution in Zurich, dedicated to local contemporary art.
The deep-framed furniture pieces are equipped with a repetitive spindled backside, solid side panels and arm rests, designed to complement lounge environments.
