The MT Chair From Pecadora Delights in Its Own Materiality

"The MT Chair from Pecadora is a compelling example of this - two pieces of bent ply, fused together without the use of any hardware or joinery. This piece delights in its own materiality, utilizing bent ply forms for exactly their intended use: to extend the life of wood, increasing the natural strength of ply when formed into these distinctive shapes."

"A feat of engineering and hidden details, the dynamic upper form is suspended, weightless, above a lower form, which creates a cavity between the seat and the floor. This can be used for storage, quickly hiding away books, toys, or even shoes in a flash. Anyone with kids knows any floor-level storage is a lifesaver for mental sanity, as external clutter promotes internal clutter as well."

"Thanks to the MT Chair being made 100% out of wood, the design is biodegradable, renewable, and reusable. Each piece is handcrafted from PEFC-certified wood and finished in eco-friendly varnishes made from natural materials. Valencia-based design studio Pecadora is the result of decades of friendship and design learning - Rafa and David bring an innate understanding to their work, with 10 years in the design industry to add some engineering to the intuition. They remain committed to simple"

Simplicity is a guiding design principle embodied by the MT Chair, which comprises two bent-ply pieces fused without any hardware or joinery. The chair leverages bent plywood's material strength and lightness, extending wood longevity through distinctive formed shapes. A dynamic upper form is suspended above a lower form, creating a cavity between seat and floor that functions as discreet storage for books, toys, or shoes. The chair is made entirely of PEFC-certified wood and finished with eco-friendly, natural varnishes, making it biodegradable, renewable, and reusable. Valencia-based studio Pecadora—Rafa and David—combine friendship, decade-long design experience, and engineering intuition in the design.
