Tenere is one of two objects developed as part of Tactus, a collection exploring touch and gesture through furniture.

The chair explores the relationship between holding and being held. Sculpted grip points invite the hands to settle first, followed by the arms and eventually the body. Its tensioned leather seat and suspended armrests adapt to the sitter, creating a gradual sense of enclosure and support through touch.
