LIRA Collection
Daniel Rybakken, 2024
LIRA is the result of a meticulous design process in which a strong, minimalist character is combined with unexpected comfort, guaranteed by the deep curvature of the backrest. The geometric silhouette is counterbalanced by the natural look of the materials used; LIRA is made of solid ash wood with a seat and backrest made of curved ash wood, available in a natural finish or in coloured stains. The chair is supported by steel feet lacquered in different colours, in textured or gloss finishes.
The strong personality of LIRA makes it ideal for dining rooms, offices or various types of public spaces. Thanks to the protruding seat, the chair can be placed on the table top, making it easier to clean the surrounding space.
AboutLIRA
LIRA is the first chair designed by Scandinavian designer Daniel Rybakken for Alias.
Formally, it reflects its name: two solid ash wood slats are attached to two long lacquered steel feet; a cantilevered seat and a curved wooden backrest are connected between the slats. A chair with graphic contours and a unique, recognizable design. Rybakken set out to create a minimalist, easily stackable chair with an iconic silhouette.
“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. The chair has a strong character in a solitary position and with its vertical bars, which are highly distinctive when repeated.” – Daniel Rybakken
