LIRA Collection

Daniel Rybakken, 2024

LIRA is the seating collection designed by the Scandinavian designer Daniel Rybakken. It stems from a meticulously crafted design process, where a strong minimalist character combines with unexpected comfort, ensured by the deep curvature of the backrest and seat. The geometric silhouette that distinguishes the entire collection is balanced by the naturalness of the materials: solid ash wood and curved ash elements, available in a natural finish or in color stains. The chairs and the stools are supported by lacquered steel feet in different colours. With Lira, Daniel Rybakken creates an essential collection with an iconic and recognisable aesthetic.

About
LIRA

LIRA is a seating collection with a distinctive graphic design. The chair features lacquered steel feet and solid ash vertical bars supporting a cantilevered seat and a curved backrest. The stool, available in two heights, reinterprets the vertical elements with a narrow ergonomic seat. The stools without backrest stack horizontally making them ideal for public and dynamic spaces. The collection combines minimalist aesthetics with innovative functionality.

“The chair is unique and innovative, yet also obvious and recognisable. Together with the seat, the deep curvature of the backrest offers a very high level of comfort. Lira has a strong character in a solitary position and with its vertical bars, which are highly distinctive when repeated".” – Daniel Rybakken
