Manufacture year: 2023

Type: Upholstered chair with armrests

The Porta Volta Chair by Herzog & de Meuron marks a new chapter of collaboration between Molteni&C and the renowned international architectural firm and long-term partners of Molteni Group.‎ A special edition Porta Volta chair will be featured in the main reading room at The National Library of Israel in Jerusalem.‎ Molteni&C’s sister brand, Unifor, is collaborating on the exciting project by managing the remodeling of the reading room, including all shelving and built-in furniture to ensure the interior components work in harmony.‎ The Porta Volta Chair is an immediately striking piece.‎ The design’s defining element comes from the solid wood back which is curved in a U-shape, creating an inviting and enveloping feel.‎ The floating backrest extends further to create armrests.‎ If desired, the backrest can be bisected by a customizable cushion.‎ Three U-frames with a unique curved “finger joint” lend the piece a detailed softness.‎ The four legs and back are angled slightly outwards which provides a stable and comfortable repose.‎ This piece is highly customizable to suit a range of interior design preferences and needs.‎ Each of the solid wood choices — American walnut, black oak, sunrise oak, graphite oak, or eucalyptus — has been specially chosen for longevity and durability.‎ The upholstered seat is carefully considered to provide exceptional comfort in a wide array of fabrics including leather and a special selection of mohair velvet.‎ The cushion comes in one of four custom colors: sunflower yellow, royal blue, daisy pink or silver gray.‎ For even more comfort and a personal touch, the Porta Volta chair offers optional padding on the backrest.‎ The rectangular shaped padding provides an added opportunity for customization with a range of fabrics and leathers.‎ The chair is available in two sizes for functional and practical considerations.‎ At 71 cm, the higher chair size functions well for dining while the low chair at 66cm is intended for a living or sitting room.‎ Designed to pair with a sofa, the low chair makes for a harmonious addition to the living space.‎ The Porta Volta Chair is both elegant and relaxed thanks to Herzog & de Meuron’s exquisite eye for detail and high-quality materials, adding a sophisticated touch to the living room, dining room or workspace.‎
