The Scarlet Collection

Designed by Matthias Weber for Accademia, Scarlet is inspired by classical forms for a simple, versatile range of chairs, armchairs and barstools.

The Scarlet Chair was first released at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2011, then relaunched as a complete collection at IMM Cologne where it took out the 2012 Interior Innovation Award.

Designer Matthias Webber has an impressive design pedigree, having worked with Hannes Wettstein of Vela collection fame for a number of years. Following Wettstein’s death in 2008, Webber continued to work for the late designer’s studio before establishing his own studio, ’This Weber’, in 2010.

The secret to Scarlet is in its wing back detail, which not only gives it a beautiful, classic aesthetic but allows it to be easily handled and stacked.

Available in both stackable and non stackable versions with a selection of upholstery options, the Scarlet Collection is perfect for all hospitality based applications.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
