built from a single sheet
Designed with practicality in mind, Modu is stackable and easy to move and store, making it suitable for both compact patios and larger outdoor environments. Available in five colours, from deepsea blue and sage green to charcoal black, white and red, the chair can adapt to different settings and visual identities.
The manufacturing process is central to the design. Each chair begins as a single sheet of HDPE, with four parts milled to precise specifications before the edges are routed and the components are thermally formed into their final ergonomic curves. The parts are then assembled using stainless steel hardware, creating a streamlined construction with minimal waste.
from material to form
Developed as part of a complete outdoor dining collection, Modu pairs with a matching table available in two sizes for six or eight people. Its combination of stackability, weather resistance, low maintenance and durable construction makes it suited to residential and commercial environments, from private terraces and gardens to cafés and hospitality spaces.
More than an outdoor dining chair, Modu explores how a simple sheet material can be transformed through cutting and heat into a comfortable, expressive form, bringing together efficient manufacturing, durability and a distinctive contemporary design.
The Modu dining chair combines a clean, sculptural form with the practical demands of outdoor living. Shaped through fluid thermoformed curves, its geometric yet organic profile creates a distinctive silhouette while providing supportive contours across the seat, armrests and backrest.
Crafted entirely from HDPE, Modu is designed to withstand outdoor conditions while remaining lightweight, durable and fully recyclable. Its weather-resistant material is UV-resistant, waterproof and easy to clean, while the use of stainless steel hardware ensures long-lasting stability. A subtle wood-like texture adds warmth to the material, balancing its contemporary character with a more natural aesthetic.
