Collection Story
Origin
Muuto's Cover Chair Family page describes the family as an elegant perspective on the timeless wooden chair, referencing the values of honest craftsmanship and Scandinavian materiality, and says that the family without upholstery is EU Ecolabel certified. The page quotes Thomas Bentzen: "The Cover Chair Series is born from a desire to create a comfortable and contemporary chair in wood. I aimed for a crisp and vivid expression in the plywood while looking for a solid and grounded look in the frame and base of the design. Years of play and hard work in the making has resulted in a light, yet strong chair design that takes the material of veneer to its extreme."

Design Language
The material tabs of the product pages describe form-pressed wood that is folded over the legs and the backrest. Muuto calls this layering technically innovative and says that it helps to lock the elements of the chair together.
