Naoto Fukasawa gives Substance a calm, understated identity shaped by proportion, material clarity and everyday usability. A frame in natural ash plywood introduces warmth and visible timber character, while the polypropylene seat adds a cleaner, more technical surface suited to frequent use. Conceived for indoor environments, the Magis Substance chair with natural ash plywood frame and polypropylene seat works naturally in dining rooms, restaurants, meeting areas and refined hospitality settings. Its balanced silhouette avoids decorative excess, allowing the contrast between wood and moulded material to define the design. As a wood frame dining chair, Substance offers a versatile seating solution for residential and contract interiors where comfort, visual restraint and material quality are equally important.

Refined seating within Magis Chairs & Small Armchairs

Positioned within Magis Chairs & Small Armchairs, Substance combines a compact dining profile with practical details for carefully considered interiors. The family is available in Natural Ash 7018/White 1735C and Natural Ash 7018/Black 1768C, allowing designers to choose between a lighter tonal composition and a stronger graphic contrast. The chair is supplied with felt pads, helping protect suitable finished floors, while an optional seat cushion is available and not included for projects requiring additional softness. This ash wood dining chair integrates easily into homes, restaurants and meeting environments, where the natural frame brings warmth without adding unnecessary visual weight.

Material simplicity through the Magis design language

The design culture of Magis emerges through the direct relationship between natural ash plywood and polypropylene, two materials with different tactile qualities brought together in a visually coherent form. The wooden frame gives Substance a warm architectural presence, while the moulded seat contributes practical durability and a smooth contemporary finish. White 1735C creates a softer, brighter expression, whereas Black 1768C introduces greater definition against the natural timber. As a polypropylene dining chair with wooden frame, Substance is suited to repeated use in residential and professional settings while maintaining the quiet refinement expected from contemporary Italian furniture. Its restrained proportions also allow several chairs to sit comfortably around a shared table without overwhelming the surrounding architecture.

A natural partner for Magis Tables & Low Tables

Substance coordinates naturally with Magis Tables & Low Tables, creating balanced dining, meeting and hospitality compositions where wood, colour and surface materials can interact with architectural clarity. The warm ash frame pairs effectively with timber, stone, lacquered finishes and metal details, while the polypropylene seat introduces a practical contrast for everyday use. Its optional cushion allows comfort to be adapted without changing the essential silhouette, and the supplied felt pads add a considered finishing detail for indoor applications. Whether specified as a modern wooden dining chair for a private home, a refined seat for a restaurant or a versatile option for contract interiors, Substance by Naoto Fukasawa x Magis offers architects, interior designers and hoteliers a sophisticated balance of natural materiality, functional comfort and understated contemporary character.
