Overview
Binata is a 2026 chair by Brogliato Traverso. Its geometry is organised around two parallel rear legs that rise to support a horizontal backrest, giving the compact frame a distinct structural expression.
Construction
The frame is solid ash, offered with oak or mocha stains or open-pore lacquered finishes. The seat and backrest are ash-veneered plywood finished to match the frame.
Specifications
Model 2220 has a timber seat; model 2220R adds polyurethane-foam padding with a fixed fabric or leather cover. The selected unupholstered 2220 drawing shows 48, 48 and 78 cm; the axes are not labelled, and 78 cm is the largest vertical value.
Story
Paired columns as a starting point
Zanotta traces Binata's name and form to the architectural idea of paired columns. The parallel rear supports and horizontal back band translate that reference into a clear set of geometric elements rather than applied decoration.
Designed without a period label
Brogliato Traverso describe the project as an effort to avoid belonging formally to one historical period. The resulting balance is intended to let Binata move between residential and contract settings while retaining a recognisable identity.
