The Focus chair by Pietro Costantini distills over a century of Italian woodworking into a single, quietly inventive dining chair. Handcrafted in Italy at the atelier in San Giovanni al Natisone — where the house has operated since 1922 — this Italian design dining chair introduces an adjustable backrest mechanism that transforms the act of sitting into something considered, personal.

A solid beech wood frame gives the Focus its architectural composure: clean lines, a compact silhouette, an understated confidence. The padded rectangular backrest conceals a metal inclination mechanism — a detail that functions as both engineering and ornament. Available in multiple finishes, this metal accent catches light and attention in equal measure, lending the chair a subtle tension between the warmth of wood and the precision of metal.

At 48 × 58 × 87 cm, the Focus occupies a restrained footprint that works well in tighter dining arrangements, private restaurants, or conference settings where hours at the table demand more than a static seat. Upholstery is offered in fabric, leather, or eco-leather, and the metal mechanism can be specified across several finishes — allowing designers to calibrate each detail to the room.

• Dimensions: 48 × 58 × 87 cm
• Materials: Solid beech wood frame, padded upholstery, metal adjustment mechanism
• Customization: Fabric, leather, or eco-leather upholstery; multiple metal finishes for the backrest mechanism
• Origin: Handcrafted in Italy
