Description
Named after the mantis, Mantodea is shaped by the quiet discipline of stillness. It draws inspiration from the moment before movement, where balance, restraint, and awareness coexist.
Slender solid wood legs lift the body with ease, while the softly angled back and arms suggest openness without excess. Its form suggests attentiveness rather than rest, encouraging a slower rhythm of sitting and observing.
Mantodea belongs to interiors where silence has weight and space is allowed to breathe. It is not designed to perform, but to remain, holding space, light, and time with quiet certainty.

warmth
Wood remembers the room it lives in.
Light, touch, and time slowly shape its surface, each mark becoming part of your story.
Each Mantodea Chair is shaped through a measured, human process, where time is allowed to settle into the material. The making is deliberate rather than hurried, guided by touch, adjustment, and repetition.
Subtle irregularities are not corrected, but kept, as quiet evidence of the hand behind the form. In this way, the chair carries more than structure; it carries pace, intention, and the dignity of work done slowly.
Inspiration
Objects are not trophies. They are the quiet witnesses to how you live.
This is a chair for unhurried moments, morning light across the floor, a conversation that lingers, a pause between actions. Mantodea does not ask to be noticed. It simply stays, composed and attentive, becoming part of the rhythm of living rather than an object within it.

The Artisan Behind
The OWC Home Collection begins with objects shaped by hand, guided by material, and refined through time. Created in collaboration with Shanghai woodworker Master Lin Haoyu, the collection reflects a shared belief: that well-made pieces should age beautifully, support daily rituals, and quietly belong in the spaces we live in.
