British designer Benjamin Hubert had a pretty busy Salone this year with a number of his new designs making their debut.

And here's another; the 'Maritime' chair designed for Italian firm Casamania.

Inspired by traditional wooden shipbuilding techniques, this solid wood range of chairs are skinned internally with a formed plywood shell.

This construction technique, where the supports are visible on the outside, not only visually suggests the hull of a boat, but is practical too since the ribs allow for a structurally robust chair with minimum use of material.

'Maritime' is comprised from solid and laminate ash, can be upholstered if you like, and additionally; is also available in translucent dyed colourways to enhance the construction details.
