Borealis modular collection of chairs and tables designed by Snøhetta for Citterio represents a fusion of precisely shaped volumes. The entire collection is distinguished by a visible oak frame that neatly holds upholstered parts with architectural lines. Its simple but balanced design offers a sense of enclosure without being too casual. The wooden elements bring a natural touch to the space while upholstered parts evoke comfort.
The Borealis collection combines Snøhetta’s architectural style with industrial design skills. By combining strong structure with soft cushions, it blends natural landscapes with built forms. The result is a collection that feels both natural and carefully designed. The visible wooden frame, offered in natural or dark finishes defines each piece and ties the soft cushions together to ensure a balanced look.
Another cool detail are the metal‑tipped legs that add a stylish touch to the design while also ensuing stability. The maker has cleverly embedded the technical features and solutions within its structure for a seamless look.
Borealis is designed like a flexible building system made from one basic square unit. From this single base size, they create different pieces, including armchairs, two- and three-seater sofas, benches, and side tables, all of which share the same proportions and visual style. Because every element follows the same dimensions and look, you can arrange them freely for more casual layouts or in repeated rows for more formal “serial” layouts to suit different spaces and needs.

Borealis is more than a furniture system, it reflects Citterio’s vision for flxeible workspaces. Following the “Tech by Nature” philosophy, the furniture collection helps creating comfortable, functional, and eco-friendly environments.
