Duran is a substantial yet delicate armchair, which was designed by Figuron Studio for Artu furniture brand.

Made from chromed steel, and veneered oak plywood for the backrest and seat it reveals significant graphical shape and minimalistic construction. 

Referencing the classic loft style, steel construction and natural wood come together to form a harmonious modern whole. Viewed from different angles, Duran changes its lightweight silhouette. The best way to showcase its qualities is as a free-standing object in the living room or foyer.

Artu is a modern and minimalistic furniture brand founded in 2015 that supports local and sustainable production. Although the main focus of a company is HoReCa segment and offices it creates high-quality and long-lasting solutions for a variety of interiors. Finding a perfect balance between ergonomics and aesthetically appealing shapes is a thriving force for industrial designers and engineers at Artu.

Figuron is an art & design studio founded by Alexander Zhukovsky, who began his career as an industrial designer specializing in automotive, medical equipment, and home appliances before focusing on furniture, crafted items, and limited-edition art objects. The studio was established to express designer's new vision of art & design and their role in our daily lives.
