Wintex® mesh
A flocked, fine-gauge knit that flexes under pressure and returns without memory. Matte to the eye, soft to the hand.
Design & Craft
Thirty years of sitting, distilled into one chair.
BIRCH was drawn in Nuremberg by ITO Design — the studio behind some of the most quietly influential seating of the last three decades. This is how a workhorse of German engineering learned to belong in a living room.
ITO Design — Nuremberg
The studio
ITO Design
Nuremberg, Germany
Founded on the belief that a chair should disappear beneath the body it serves, ITO Design has spent decades turning biomechanical research into objects of restraint. Their temperament is Bauhaus — nothing decorative, nothing wasted — engineered to a tolerance you feel before you notice it.
For BIRCH, we asked ITO Design to make ergonomics beautiful enough to leave out in the open at home.
Comfort you have to explain isn't comfort. The best support is the kind you forget you are being given. ITO Design
Made of decisions, not just parts.
Every surface your body meets was chosen for how it behaves over years, not minutes.
BOCK synchro mechanism
A German-made tilt core, tuned so the back follows your spine through every recline — not the other way around.
Polished frame & quiet casters
Cast aluminium and 60mm casters that roll quietly across wood and rugs.
