LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- KFI Studios has introduced the Silva collection, a line of wood seating and tables designed by Union Design that "blends timeless craftsmanship with approachable, modern design." The line is the company's first all-wood furniture collection.
Made from solid beech wood, the company says that Silva highlights the natural beauty of the material through soft, rounded forms and a subtle satin finish that bring warmth and sophistication to spaces.
KFI Studios is a U.S.-based contract furniture maker for offices, schools, healthcare, and hospitality, known for stylish, durable pieces, while New York City-based Union Design, led by Jeff Theesfeld, is their partner design firm specializing in modern, human-centric furniture.
The Silva Collection includes guest and lounge chairs, stools, and matching tables in multiple heights, offering versatility for workplace and hospitality settings. Signature steam-bent rear legs give the chairs a graceful, continuous line from floor to backrest, with the lounge chair pushing the boundaries of wood bending with its elegant arch. From gently rounded edges on seating to softly shaped square tabletops, Silva's design details highlight the wood's natural grain and character.
"Silva is designed to celebrate the beauty of wood while creating forms that feel approachable and natural," said Theesfeld, founder of Union Design. "Every curve, edge, and contour was carefully considered to highlight the material, create comfort, and offer a sense of simplicity."
The collection is available in seven wood stain options: Natural, Timber, Coffee, Black, Navy, Evergreen, and Clay. Chairs can be specified with or without upholstered seats, offered in a wide selection of graded-in textiles or COM options.
"We're really excited about Silva," said Chris Smith, CEO of KFI Studios. It's our first full wood collection and something we've wanted to do for a long time. It's got that natural warmth and character that makes spaces feel instantly inviting."
With its combination of thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and approachable form, Silva feels at home in a wide range of environments, bringing warmth, comfort, and timeless beauty wherever it's used.
