Van Rossum Yeti Chair Designed by Pieter Maes

The Yeti dining chair by Van Rossum, designed by Pieter Maes, embodies sculptural restraint through solid wood, ergonomic form, and refined material expression.

The chair is formed from two blocks of oak in a nude brushed finish, joined seamlessly to create an unbroken silhouette. The finish highlights subtle grain and soft tonality, adding warmth to the sculptural form. A machined shell provides ergonomic support, while straight legs extend fluidly from seat to floor, reinforcing the sense of continuity.

Inspired by biomimicry, the design recalls the poise of a primate at rest, merging organic reference with precise execution. The chair balances solidity with comfort, bringing grounding presence and ease in equal measure. In dining settings, it offers more than function, shaping atmosphere through proportion and craft.
