YO:
YO’s constructing principle is based on exceptional joinery that allows each component to be separated from the others through a gap. This way one can still discern each independent ingredient, same as with great food. YO is truthful and honest
YO is the opposite of disposable furniture. It is too solid for quick service restaurants, same as good food is too slow and difficult to prepare and to source.
Same as tasting good food, the pleasure arises from feeling the solid natural ingredients and artisan’s craftsmanship.
The comfort comes from the subtle angle play between pieces and from the elastic metal connection between the seat and the backrest.
Materials: Solid local ash, walnut connecting pieces.
Made in Transylvania.

Our self-imposed brief was to fill in gaps we noticed in the HoReCa dedicated furniture such as the right balance between price and uniqueness, sense of solidity and permanency, to design the opposite of disposable furniture, to avoid standardization as a mean of cutting the cost.
Usually there is a reverse ratio between the technology used in one product and its uniqueness as technology; in order to be effective requires standardization and mass production. We addressed this issue by relying on craftsmanship rather than technology and adapted the design to artisan skills to be found in small workshops in Transylvania. The simple, clean-cut shapes do not require excessive standardization in order to be efficiently produced.
