The ert club armchair is a piece of Dutch Neoplasticist geometry realized by Studioutte in blonde burl wood for the SOFT SOLID collection.
Seven wooden boards make up the entire structure. A slender band wraps the square seat, supported at center by a single post that twists from the leg line to the low backrest, where a half-moon cutout defines the upper edge. The form has no redundant element. Every board, every angle is structural and visible.
For this Monde Singulier exclusive, Studioutte presents ert in a glossy blonde burl wood. The grain of the burl, naturally irregular and richly figured, contrasts with the chair's strict geometry. A padded cushion upholstered in ivory velvet by Dedar occupies the seat, the only soft element in an otherwise hard-edged form.
The ert club armchair, part of SOFT SOLID, translates Studioutte's reading of Neoplasticism from architecture into furniture conceived as a small sculptural object.

About
Studioutte
Established in 2020, studioutte is a Milan-based multidisciplinary practice for architecture, interiors and collectible design. The name draws from the German hütte, meaning hut or shelter, a word that carries the spirit of the studio's approach.
Guglielmo Giagnotti and Patrizio Gola founded studioutte around a shared philosophy of warm minimalism: a pursuit of purity through vernacular forms, primitive essence, and poetic restraint. Furniture is conceived as small architectural objects. Their pieces are made from solid wood, raw metal, and occasional polyester lacquer, materials valued for the patina and imperfections that develop with time and use. Production is entirely handcrafted in collaboration with Italian artisans in Padova, Milan, and the wider Lombard region.
Giagnotti studied at the Polytechnic of Bari before joining Studio Librizzi in Milan. In Ghent, he worked alongside Robbrecht en Daem and Dierendonckblancke on public competitions, before a long engagement at Vincent Van Duysen in Antwerp, where he specialized in luxury interiors. Gola trained in interior design at the Politecnico di Milano, worked on retail and set-up projects at DWA, then joined Dimorestudio in 2017 for large-scale hospitality, retail, and residential commissions.
Since founding the studio, Giagnotti and Gola have produced interior architecture and limited-edition collectibles across Europe and New York. The Rootine Wellness Club in Munich (2021), the Industrialism Exhibition at the Urban Zen Center in New York (2022), and the Sala d'Attesa installation at the 2024 Milan Design Week stand among their key projects. The Ert Chair and a dedicated collection for Nilufar Gallery have placed their work in the collectible design conversation. Studioutte was included in the AD 100 list in 2024.
Their collectible editions are available through Monde Singulier.
