Kilit Taş Design creator Kunter Şekercioğlu developed the Atra armchair for Tilia, which can be utilised indoors and outside. It’s a furniture trend that’s becoming more popular as people’s perspectives on design shift. Atra combines the brand’s high points of honest manufacture, accessible design, and sustainable materials to create a piece of furniture that’s poised to usher in a new era of innovation.
Atra has ergonomic seating with ventilated perforated back and side regions and a broad, curved design. The armchairs are stackable, and the seat is easy to clean. The materials utilised to create Atra – 100 per cent recyclable polypropylene and fibreglass – are weather-resistant. The seat is detachable and may be recycled and replaced in the event of wear and tear. Tilia’s concepts and the future generation of design are reflected in every detail of Atra’s design.
