Brink Chair natural wood - Muuto

Brink Chair:The Elegance of Wood in Perfect BalanceSlim, seemingly light, yet sturdy, the Brink Chair plays on contrasts. Thomas Bentzen pushes the boundaries of veneer work to create a particularly slender shell, set on steel legs. Its continuous lines and clean profile give rise to a chair that is as understated as it is graphic, designed to complement everyday life. A Shell Pushed to Its LimitsBrink’s entire character lies in its curvature. Its die-cast shell, made of FSC™-certified wood veneer, combines layers of beech with an oak surface protected by a water-based varnish. A sharp curve reinforces this slender structure, while the softened edges follow the contours of the body. It is precisely this pursuit of refinement that inspired its name. Thomas Bentzen explains that he pushed the design to this “limit”—“brink” in English—where material, comfort, and durability converge. The changes in plane also create a play of shadows on the front and back of the shell, lending greater depth to its silhouette. Comfort Through MovementThe sled legs made of bent, chromed steel tubing do more than just contribute to Brink’s visual lightness. The structure and shell introduce a controlled flexibility that naturally follows the body’s movements and provides a gentle give to the seat. A subtle way to combine comfort and clean lines without weighing down the design. Is the Brink chair comfortable for everyday use?Yes, the Brink chair was designed to offer comfort while maintaining a very slim silhouette. Its curved shell supports the body, its softened edges improve comfort, and the slight flexibility of the shell and legs accommodates movement. Its seat, which is 46 cm high and 40 cm deep, is particularly well-suited for use around a dining table. Where should you place a sled-base chair with legs?A sled-leg chair naturally fits around a dining table, but its compact silhouette also makes it suitable for use at a desk. In a professional setting, it can also be used in a meeting room or dining area. At 48 cm wide, Brink maintains a light, unobtrusive presence and allows for multiple chairs without visually weighing down the space. Which Brink chair color should you choose?Natural oak with chrome legs highlights the wood’s grain and adds a bright, warm touch. The black version has a more graphic and architectural look. Dark olive green offers a softer alternative, with a deep hue that pairs easily with wood and natural tones. Three interpretations of the same silhouette allow you to tailor Brink to the room’s atmosphere. How can you protect the floor with the Brink chair?The pre-installed furniture glides can be used with either the felt side or the plastic side facing up: simply flip them over depending on the surface where the chair is placed. A simple solution that allows you to adapt Brink to different floor coverings without changing the furniture glides. With Brink, Thomas Bentzen transforms a familiar design into an exercise in precision. A chair where the delicacy of the veneer, the curve of the shell, and the flexibility of the legs strike the perfect balance, creating a presence that is both light and assertive.
