Structure & Frame :

The Keel dining chair is born from a research project exploring the delicate relationship between geometric rigor and organic sinuosity. Its primary structure is crafted from a linear steel rod, available in embossed finishes like Anthracite or Aval. This rigid metal frame serves as the foundation for the chair's signature support elements, which are meticulously modeled from solid ash wood.

Top & Materials :

This model is distinguished by its fully upholstered seat, padded with fire-retardant polyurethane foam. The backrest is left as an exposed piece of solid ash wood, showcasing a "very particular manufacturing process" that results in soft, sinuous shapes. The contrast between the cold, industrial steel and the warm, handcrafted wood represents a sophisticated material dialogue inspired by the nautical world.

Shelves & Storage :

As a specialized dining seat, the Keel focuses on ergonomic support and structural harmony. The name itself refers to the "keel" of a ship, a nod to its architectural balance. The design prioritizes a light visual weight, allowing the chair to provide high-level comfort without cluttering the surrounding interior space. :

Design & Aesthetic : Designed by M+V, the 922 model offers a contemporary take on classic seating. Its aesthetic is defined by the way the curved wooden backrest "embraces" the thin metal structure, creating a piece that feels both delicate and robust. This version differs from the "Keel Light" collection specifically through its more generous, fully padded seat.

Functionality & Placement :

This chair is perfectly suited for indoor residential and contract dining areas. Its slender profile makes it an excellent choice for luxury restaurants or modern dining rooms where multiple chairs are placed around a single table, ensuring a clean and organized visual landscape.

Finishes & Customization :

The chair offers extensive customization through Potocco's catalog. The solid ash backrest can be stained in various finishes (e.g., Moka, Carbon, Walnut), while the steel frame is available in specific embossed lacquers. The seat can be upholstered in a wide variety of fabrics, leathers, or faux leathers.

Dimensions & Configuration :

Model 922 features a width of 54 cm, a depth of 54 cm, and a total height of 79 cm. It is part of a larger family that includes the 922/P armchair and stools, allowing for a coordinated design theme throughout a hospitality or residential project.
