Chair or easy chair?
Its definition is debatable.
Its seating comfort isn’t.

it's a tree story.
lui dining room chair with tak table in walnut

This guy is just really cool.

Even if lui gives off a shamelessly casual impression, its covering makes it appropriate for any setting – and that’s how the designer Jacob Strobel views his piece. lui appears elegant and suave all at once. The key feature of its distinctive style is the comfortable seat shell. The seat of the lui chair nestles against the body: sculpted upholstery with ergonomic foam cushioning provides superior seating comfort. Our high-quality covers – in classic or full-grain leather, fabric – complete the delightful feel of this chair. You will love it – at the dining table or in your home office, paired with our smart standalone sol or the atelier desk, for example.

 

A chair with a sense of family.

If the lui chair with its handcrafted wooden base is an easy-going, well-grounded guy, then the swivel base lui chair is the elegant, but equally cool brother. Additional comfort is provided by an organically shaped, easy-action swivel base with a unique mechanism that automatically returns the chair to its original position after the user gets up. And there’s a third member of the team, very much one of the family, with a delightfully light-spirited character. The distinctive difference here is its steel wire frame. Precise lines give this design a dynamic sense of energy with robust strength. The lui chair cuts a first-class figure in the home office when it turns up as an office swivel chair.

    walnut

    Noble, dark and elegant: walnut.

    Austria, Slovenia and Hungary are home to our walnut trees. The noble living grained wood has hues that range from light brown to black brown and sometimes show a red or purple sheen. Regular sunlight lightens the wood’s colour. Walnut is hard and maintains its shape – it is almost impossible to wear out the extremely resilient wood.

    Intensive, precious and resilient: cherry.

    Whether it comes from sustainable forests in Austria, Hungary or Romania: the deciduous wood from our cherry trees is perfect for producing premium solid wood furniture.

This is because ist colour spectrum ranges from a yellowish or reddish brown through to an intense dark red brown. The colour darkens slightly when exposed to sunlight.

  • TEAM 7 wood type oak, resilient, robust and firm wood
    oak

    Resilient, robust and firm: oak.

    Our oak grows just a stone’s throw away in sustainably managed forests in Austria, Germany and Hungary. A greyish-yellow to yellowish-brown heartwood is characteristic of this firm and particularly resilient wood. It grows in clearly visible even tree rings and darkens slightly in sunlight. Oak owes its unique appearance to its strikingly broad wood rays, which, depending on the direction of the wood, become visible as typical, large, iridescent mirrors or as dark strokes.

  • TEAM 7 wood type oak white oil, resilient, robust wood, finished with special oil
    oak white oil

    Resilient, robust and finished by us: oak white oil.

    Our oak grows here in Austria, as well as in forests in Germany and Hungary. A greyish-yellow to yellowy-brown heartwood is characteristic of this firm and particularly resilient wood. It grows in clearly-visible, even tree rings. We have finished the premium wood of our oak white oil surface with a special oil that prevents the natural darkening of the oak and makes it brighter. Oak owes its unique appearance to its strikingly broad wood rays, which, depending on the direction of the wood, become visible as typical, large, iridescent mirrors or as dark strokes.

    Local sources are important to us. Our beech wood comes from sustainable European forests in Austria and Germany.

Beech wood is heavy and firm and its structure makes it particularly easy to process.

lui chair in leather with attractive folds

Always a smile.

The covering – in leather, full-grain leather or fabric – stretches across the curved back like a garment, while on the inner side, hand-stitched indentations in the leather create attractive folds, giving the subtle impression of laughter lines. What appears to be casual and random is actually carefully cut from a single continuous piece leather, and meticulously crafted using traditional upholstery techniques: the high quality workmanship is unmistakable. The leather cover is stitched using a double flat-fell seam – familiar from classic denim jeans – which gives the chair a casual style that is also elegantly timeless.
