Dezeen Showroom: the Twig chair by furniture brand Elan Atelier recalls the texture of wood but is actually solid bronze cast from a single mould.
The Twig chair is a "sculptural statement and a study in elegance and restraint," according to Elan Atelier, which specialises in bronze and cast the sculptural piece using the lost-wax method.
In addition to tree branches, the studio took inspiration from the work of sculptors Giuseppe Panone and Alberto Giacometti to design the piece.
Twig comes with an umber brown leather cushion as standard, and either a warm brown Antique Bronze or blacker Dark Bronze finish. Two premium finishes, Silver Bronze or Gold Bronze, are also available.
It can be ordered to custom sizes or as a two-person love seat.
"Elan Atelier is driven by a deep appreciation of traditional methods, noble materials and modern innovation," said the brand. "Sublime products are handcrafted with artistry for a modern world."
Elan Atelier was founded in 2014 by Alison Legge and Christopher Noto and has worked with commercial clients including Aman Resorts, Four Seasons Hotels, and GHM Hotels and Resorts.
