Impossible Wood is a reinterpretation of the classic outdoor chair, using a different material. The shell is made of 80% wood fibre and 20% polypropylene, thus providing the same moulding and resistance characteristics as plastic, but with the fine feel and smell of wood. Created by the design duo Doshi and Levien for Moros, this small armchair in 'liquid wood' is the result of extensive research. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Impossible Wood has a profile that is both simple and sophisticated, mounted on a supple frame that reveals all its elegance. Available in different shell colours, with random patterns and textures slightly visible on its surface, Impossible Wood is perfect for use on a terrace or around a dining table.
Doshi Levien was founded by designers Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien, who met at the Royal College of Art. The London-based studio is internationally recognised as a marriage of culture, technology, industrial design and craft. Nipa grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design, founded on the manifesto of Charles and Ray Eames; Jonathan trained in fine cabinet making and then industrial design. Together, they strive to create a design with rational and functional qualities, to infuse their projects with a sense of inner beauty. Nipa's practice is rooted in his diverse upbringing and discerning eye for visual culture; Jonathan's in industrial precision, combined with the sensitivity of a maker's hand and a deep understanding of materials. What makes Doshi Levien's work so distinctive is not only their confident relationship with colour, material and form, but also their ability to translate meticulous design ideas into the context of production. The duo has created design pieces for leading manufacturers such as B&B Italia, Moroso, Kvadrat and Cappellini, as well as for prestigious museums, international cultural institutions and art galleries.
