Acre Range

Acre is a design collaboration between Città and Hong Kong-based industrial designer Michael Young. Michael describes the chair as a “quirky classic” with a strong focus on ergonomic comfort.

Acre was first launched in 2021 and awarded a Gold Pin at the Best Design Awards.

In 2025, the range evolved to include the option of a metal base and new upholstery options, offering even greater versatility.

Eco plastic features throughout the range—a low-carbon material made from renewable sources. Around 30% of the composition is straw fibre, which gives the chair a subtly speckled finish and adds a sense of natural character.

The signature, softly curved seat shell is also available in three-dimensionally formed plywood—a technically complex material that reflects Città’s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.

The Acre is designed with both residential and commercial spaces in mind. BIFMA-tested for durability in high-use environments.

Designed by Michael Young

Michael Young is a British industrial designer and creative director based in Hong Kong. His vibrant career spans product, furniture, and interior design, with work exhibited at the Louvre in Paris, the Design Museum in London, and solo exhibitions worldwide.

Reflecting on the Acre chair, Michael says: “A good product is not always defined by reinventing the wheel—it’s about redefining modern technology and processes. The entire form evolved from the industrial techniques available to us. I believe the result is honest, timeless, and true to its function.”
