Ark makes an impressive statement with its honest, unapologetic and readable design derived from the standard dimensions of solid wooden planks. With responsibility in mind from the initial design phase to the flat-packed freighting, Ferm Living's chair is made of 100% FSC-certified timber and is easily disassembled to reduce its environmental footprint. But it's also quite a looker in treated natural ash or striking blue lacquer, making for a stylishly comfortable seat for lingering at the table.
