Eneh

Project
The “ENEH CHAIR” is a minimalist wooden chair defined by geometric clarity, organic lines and the expressive character of solid timber. Its design subtly draws on the structural features of traditional Hungarian peasant carts.
The form explores the relationship between straight and curved lines, balancing structural discipline with a sense of continuous movement. Its distinctive double armrests create a broad, embracing form within a restrained structure.
The chair is made from locally sourced walnut, with each piece selected according to its natural characteristics. Straight-grained timber is used for the legs, more expressive grain for the curved elements, and knotty wood, which might otherwise be discarded, for the seat. Standard timber dimensions support efficient local production using conventional woodworking tools.
The broad backrest, embracing armrests and deeply shaped seat provide ergonomic comfort. Combining careful craftsmanship with contemporary technology, the chair brings together architectural restraint, precise woodworking and a durable contemporary form.

LIGETI STUDIO brings together architecture, furniture design and workshop-based production. The studio’s founder grew up in his father’s architectural practice, where design and making existed side by side, developing an early understanding of materials, tools and the culture of production.
Over time, he took over the studio and its workshop, gradually transforming them into an independent practice. What once operated as a hybrid architectural and craft environment evolved into a studio in which furniture design, architectural thinking and hands-on production remain closely connected.
Today, LIGETI STUDIO produces one-off pieces of furniture in a workshop of almost 800 square metres in Bernecebaráti. Working with a network of small and medium-sized workshops across northern Hungary, the studio operates within a collaborative production ecosystem.
