Circus is a new-century update of the archetypal mid-century modern Scandinavian wood chair. Defined by a clear visual logic, innovative construction details and advanced manufacturing are combined to achieve a graphic and elegant form.

Circus is produced in partnership with one of the oldest and most skilled family-owned wooden chair manufacturers in Italy. The result is an intelligent blend of advanced industrial production and atelier craftsmanship. Production is maintained in small controlled batches with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship, while industrial methods provide consistent precision and efficiency. The wood is sourced from FSC-certified and sustainably managed forests in Europe, where trees are selectively harvested on a long-term rotational basis. All lacquers and glues used produce no VOC emissions and are completely non-toxic to human health.

Richard Trory is a designer and engineer with nearly 20 years experience in design development at leading companies including Vitra and Design Within Reach. This experience informed a new-modernist approach that now guides EDITS - innovative design that blends industrial production with skilled handcraft to produce designs with clarity, elegance and exceptional quality.

All packaging is made from recycled content and is fully recyclable. A small amount of EPE foam is used to protect the most vulnerable, high-impact areas. Circus has passed BIFMA testing for seating performance, ensuring long-term durability and usefulness. European Ash in natural-white and contemporary lacquers further elevate the design's contemporary character. Smooth edges provide unexpected softness, while upholstered seat pads can be added as a further option (please contact Hive to specify).
