Mask, Miss Mask chair

The Bonaldo Mask chair is a study in duality—presence and absence, volume and void, substance and silhouette. It is a design that doesn’t just fill a space—it frames it. Light in form yet bold in concept, the Mask chair stands out for its signature open-back design, where negative space becomes a sculptural feature, not just a structural omission.

Like the mask from which it takes its name, this chair is both revealing and concealing. It draws the eye with its clean, geometric lines, only to surprise with moments of visual weightlessness. The cut-out backrest is not a stylistic afterthought—it’s the soul of the design. It creates a visual dialogue between full and empty, giving the chair its unmistakable silhouette and lending any room a fresh, contemporary edge.

Designed for those who appreciate refinement without rigidity, the Mask chair strikes a balance between architectural precision and tactile warmth. Its streamlined frame is softened by your choice of luxurious upholstery options: plush fabric, supple eco-leather, or classic leather—all tailored to enhance both visual appeal and everyday comfort. The overall form is minimalist, but never cold; clean, but never sterile.

The chair’s backrest isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s engineered to offer ergonomic support while preserving openness and lightness. This makes it ideal for dining rooms, creative workspaces, hospitality venues, or any interior where form must follow both function and feeling. It’s a rare piece that feels at home in both modern and transitional settings, able to adapt without disappearing.

With its lightweight frame and graceful lines, the Bonaldo Mask chair is designed to elevate a space without overpowering it. Whether placed around a dining table, flanking a desk, or arranged in a curated seating area, the chair becomes a subtle focal point—eye-catching, but not attention-seeking.

For those seeking something with added presence and poise, the collection also includes the Miss Mask armchair—a version with graceful integrated armrests that extend the same visual language while offering greater comfort. This variation is perfect for host chairs or as a stand-alone accent in lounges or offices.

What truly sets the Mask chair apart is its ability to tell a story through subtraction. It’s a masterclass in what can be achieved when a designer knows exactly what to remove. The resulting balance between material and air gives the chair a sculptural presence while maintaining practicality and comfort.

The Mask chair is also customizable with a variety of metal base finishes—ranging from matte tones to brushed metals—allowing you to fine-tune its appearance to suit residential or contract interiors alike. Whether you prefer something warm and earthy or sleek and industrial, the Mask adapts to your style without compromising its character.

With Bonaldo’s craftsmanship at its core, the Mask chair embodies Italian design at its most intelligent—where emotion, structure, and comfort meet. It’s a chair that doesn’t just fill a space but shapes the experience of being in it.

Ideal for interior designers, architects, and discerning homeowners looking for high-end dining chairs or accent seating with personality, the Bonaldo Mask chair is a design-forward piece that offers much more than meets the eye.
