The Ferula chair, an iconic design element, is the result of a cooperation between designers from Lucania and Apulia and students from the Politecnico di Milano. The Ferula strongly evokes Matera, its territory and the life-style of men and women living in its ancient neighborhoods, the Sassi.

The seat frame recalls the shape of sewing machines spools and balls of yarn used for knitting, whereas the back is made of materials coming from the Murgia area: the Ferula communis – generally called ‘giant fennel’ – a tall herbaceous perennial found in the untilled, rocky, sun-soaked lands of the Murgia area surrounding Matera.

The outcome is a game of embroidered jointed patterns featuring an inner structure wrapped by leather or fabric bands and a back made of ferulae placed within holes drilled in the frame. The colourful patchwork version is made using production wastes so, to create an eco-friendly product with minimum waste material disposal. A chance to give life to something apparently valueless.

The Mater Familias model is also available as a footstool and offers rectangular and round shapes as well as bench versions. Compared to the small size of the footstools, the bench is a longer and shallower version that can be used as a bench in li- ving areas or as a bed base to furnish sleeping areas. Characterised by typical stratified seats, these products are designed to create new configurations that create a space that goes beyond the functional separations of rooms, transforming them into a unique dimension in which to live a comfort experience made of comfortable conviviality.
