chair which is testament to the skill
Modus have’

joins a forward looking collection of
chairs that are designed to keep going

Its refined, pared back design makes it more efficient in terms of production – it uses simpler processes and fewer materials – a resourcefulness we always aim for.
024 025 March Lite is crafted from solid wood with a choice of upholstered or veneer on ply seat, in pale ash or a soft, earthy palette of water-based lacquers.

durable and at the end of its life
it will go back into the earth.’

Lily Chair, Lily Sofa, Arne Table
‘Lily is an understated chair
with a soft, comfortable form
and a visual simplicity that belies
its technical upholstery.’
Michael Sodeau
Taking nature as a starting point,
the Lily chair was inspired by the
grace and simple beauty of the calla
lily. Its single shell gently cradles the
user with a luxurious and inviting
ergonomic. Where Lily Compact is
smart casual, the original Lily chair,
with its pinched detail at the arms,
more sharply evokes the great British
tradition of fine tailoring.068 069

Bloom ‘I primarily designed Bloom as
Magnus Long a place to gather to share food
and ideas. The pinched-in stem
detail came about whilst we were
engineering the tables to make
them appear visually lighter’

foot of their stem, as if each table were
growing from its base. With tops in a
choice of solid oak with tapered edge,
oak veneer on ply or lovely lino, Bloom
