SEAX Armchair

SEAX stands for elegance and modernity. Distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail, wealth of innovative design solutions and alluring mix of materials, this award-winning collection could only be the work of French designer Jean-Marie Massaud. SEAX comprises folding armchairs, lounge chairs and footstools, as well as dining and coffee tables. SEAX offers a wide variety of exclusive fabric colors. The powdercoaded frame is available in four different colorways. In developing SEAX, Massaud took inspiration from the sleek racing yachts of the America’s cup. “I love that their visual language is functional but also naturally elegant,” he says, “appropriate to the boat’s purpose of gliding without resistance.” With the folding chairs, Massaud sought to highlight their “quality, appropriateness and timelessness” while hiding their sophisticated folding mechanism. Precision-engineered to lock into place, SEAX’s lightweight yet sturdy aluminum frames close with ease at the press of a button. The chairs are distinguished by beautiful stainless-steel detailing, a special powder coating in a choice of powder-coated Black, Black Pepper, Nori or White to resist scuffs, and a swiveling back for extra comfort. Armrests are covered in richly-hued, teak-finished marine plywood for added visual and tactile warmth. Sail, SEAX’s top-quality sling fabric, comes in four new colors— Elemental Light, Elemental Dark, Petrol Light and Petrol Dark—in addition to classic Dove, Taupe and Shade. In keeping with the elegant minimalism of the chairs, Massaud has created a selection of streamlined SEAX dining and coffee tables in a versatile range of sizes. The tables feature a sleek aluminum base, slanted legs and a choice of tabletops. One top is made of premium slow-growth teak. The other consists of a single, self-supporting slab of industrial-strength porcelain, extruded and compacted especially for DEDON.
