Karbon

Constant challenge

Karbon is the result of an innovative process and business progress. It is the achievement of a productive and creative challenge; challenging ourselves to prove that we can reach new goals, work with new materials, create new products and dare to go where few others do not. All of this is done without losing the essence of Actiu's products - comfort, functionality and utility.

Design

Industrial Art

Karbon is the result of years of research, work and intense collaboration between Actiu and the designer from ITEMDesignworks, Javier Cuñado. Its ingenious design, which has been awarded a Red Dot Award 2019, generates unexpected angles and silhouettes. Its impeccable ergonomics combine highly advanced technological processes with handmade and thorough production.

Process

Pure craftsmanship

The Karbon manufacturing process takes 45 work days to create each chair. All the pieces have a hollow interior, hence it is extremely light but also resistant and warm to the touch. Its advanced technical qualities favour the durability of the furniture, which will remain unchanged over time.

Carbon Fibre

Technology and Vanguard

Carbon fibre is the hallmark of Karbon, a material that is traditionally associated with elite sports and the aerospace industry, that has removed the creative limitations from these chairs; from it's metallic luster and warm and sensual touch, to its lightness, robustness and seat comfort, they are all based on one material and a careful design.

Feel the carbon.

Touch the fibre.

“Technology offers designers the tolos to create new, freer and more creative shapes. Karbon is the expression of creativity, knowledge and technology. It is a product that provokes positive sensations when it is interacted with, as well as admiration, for having achieved the end result. It is an object of desire with an interesting emotional relationship.”
