Steel and leather furniture collection by Vienna's SUPERSEDIA

Markus Töll of SUPERSEDIA created Argento Liquido, a furniture collection that pairs liquid silver steel with off-white leather and faux fur. Based in Vienna, Töll studied architecture at the Technical University before establishing his studio focused on metal furniture.

The collection's chairs reduce seating to essential elements: steel frames cut, welded, and bent into skeletal structures. Each piece follows what Töll calls "rigorous proportionality," applying architectural principles to furniture scale. The metal framework creates visual weight while maintaining physical lightness. Seats and backs use off-white leather or faux fur, providing soft contrast to the rigid steel.

The two-toned approach combines silver metal with neutral upholstery throughout the collection. Steel tubes bend into continuous curves that form legs, arms, and backs in single gestures. The welding points remain visible, showing construction methods rather than hiding them. Hand-forging techniques create slight variations in each piece, distinguishing individual chairs within the series.

Töll's background spans both architectural training in Vienna and metalworking experience in northern Italian workshops. This combination shapes his approach: industrial materials processed through hand techniques. The pieces occupy a middle ground between mass production and traditional craft, using modern steel but shaped through manual processes. Each chair carries evidence of its making in the subtle irregularities of bent metal and welded joints.

Markus Töll builds metal chairs in Vienna that remember his years bending steel, developing film, and translating architecture into miniature. Seating as material conversation.
