Design by John Pawson
“The Arquus chair is an expression of my desire to reduce things to their essential components, in pursuit of the purest and most refined compositions.
Supported on curved walls, the spare but sculptural planes of seat and backrest are linked by a simple connecting beam, setting up the Arquus chair’s defining structural dialogue and underscoring its architectural character.”
John Pawson
Natural Culture
Natural Culture is a name that sums up a new awareness, and expresses our longstanding identity. The expression of the environmental, technical, aesthetic and cultural values of wood and other natural materials. An idea transformed into beauty, warmth and well-being through a real and profound knowledge of wood, and an authentic love of nature.
About us
Our story began over 70 years ago, in a small town in Friuli, Italy, with a big tradition for wood and chairs. Here, in 1948, the first Passoni workshop was established, and the company was then handed down from father to son: from Luigi to Ermanno, Alvise and then Tommaso. In 1963 we took part in the Salone del Mobile in Milan for the first time, the beginning of our personal journey into the design world: and our path has always remained faithful to wood and natural materials.
