Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wooden masterpiece represents a decade-long journey of design evolution and environmental responsibility. By seamlessly merging solid wood and plywood into a cohesive and visually striking piece, it has become a timeless choice for residential and contract projects alike.
At its heart, the Mixis RS embodies a deep commitment to sustainability. Made from 100% FSC-certified wood, it exemplifies the perfect synergy between aesthetics, comfort, and ethics. Designer Mario Ferrarini's vision of a fluid, ribbon-like design is realised through a seamless joining technique of solid wood and plywood, resulting in a harmonious form that resonates with both traditional and contemporary spaces. Over the past decade, this chair has been featured in bespoke projects worldwide, leaving its mark in public and corporate rooms, networking spaces, and private homes.
“I have imagined a wooden chair ideally designed by a ribbon. I had in mind a fluid ensemble and wrap-around shapes. I thought of a seamless joining technique of solid wood and plywood,” reflects Mario Ferrarini, the visionary designer behind the Mixis RS. His vision is embodied in the chair’s sinuous lines and thoughtful comfort, making it both elegant and practical for a wide range of settings. Its flowing lines and refined craftsmanship have made it an ideal choice for communal areas and private homes, ensuring a perfect balance of design and functionality.
Building on the success of the original design, Crassevig expanded the Mixis collection to offer even more versatility while maintaining its eco-conscious ethos.
This expansion includes polypropylene variants that retain the chair’s minimalist design while offering options for diverse environments. Among the most notable additions is the Mixis Air, a bold evolution of the original.
