Verve Wood

Verve Wood is a highly adaptable shell chair that offers inspiring, affordable, ergonomic seating for the flexible spaces where people now meet and work. While Verve was originally available solely with a plastic shell, this next generation is about the warmth and elegance of wood. Verve Wood offers the same contemporary scaling, comfort, and versatility that made the original product family so widely specified.

Function

Verve Wood provides outstanding comfort based on the shell’s built-in lumbar support and inherent flex, both of which promote healthy sitting and movement. Design functionality is optimized by Verve’s wide-ranging choice of options including 4- and 5-blade bases, excellent for conference, as well as sled-base guest models.

Mark Kapka sees furniture as an intimate part of our lives, with our bodies interacting with these objects in personal, tactile ways. Since founding his eponymous, San Francisco-based studio in 1997, Kapka has concentrated on furnishings—and, in particular, seating—for a wide range of residential and contract manufacturers. An understated elegance marks his pieces, which he grounds in the practicalities and technicalities of design, ergonomics, and end use.
