Plan Wood Chair is a minimalist chair designed by London-based studio Barber Osgerby for Fredericia. This new series featuring the Plan Wood Chair and Plan Wood Table builds on a collection celebrating enduring design, material honesty, and furniture that grows with its surroundings through natural materials blended with industrial finesse. Created in close collaboration with British designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, these pieces offer tactile development of the existing Plan collection, crafted from FSC-certified oak introducing warmer, more organic character to the collection’s streamlined forms.

Where the original Plan collection is defined by functional clarity and architectural precision, the wood edition brings new depth and material presence. The Plan Wood Chair and Table combine refined functionality with sensitivity to oak’s inherent qualities, demonstrating how existing furniture systems can expand through material variation where formal language remains consistent while tactile and visual character shifts through wood substitution for original metal construction.

Barber Osgerby describe the series as natural continuation of their original vision, stating the Plan Wood Series is the latest addition to the Plan family and natural next step following the success of the original metal chair. The wood version brings warmth and material richness, building on Fredericia’s deep expertise in wood craftsmanship. The result is a series that is welcoming and comfortable yet still retains the clarity and precision defining the entire Plan collection, with their collaboration with Fredericia remaining truly special and rooted in shared values of quality and sustainability.

The Plan Wood Chair and Table are designed with soft proportions, comfort, and durability in mind. Rounded edges and sensorial surfaces make each piece as satisfying to touch as it is to use, whether around the dining table or in public spaces where people gather. It’s a collection that moves seamlessly with life, versatile enough to suit any setting, demonstrating furniture design addressing both residential and contract markets through form and finish appropriate for varied use intensities and spatial contexts.

The chair balances a compact silhouette with visible joinery that celebrates both the character of the oak and the care of its craftsmanship. The table complements this with clean, rounded lines and an oak tabletop radiating warmth and strength. Together they form a cohesive set where understated elegance meets practical functionality, demonstrating how coordinated furniture collections can establish spatial coherence through shared formal vocabulary and material consistency enabling flexible arrangement patterns.
