Note:
Country of origin: Italy. Image: Cappellini. Created in 1969, the seat is based upon a completely de-structured design: In fact, it is composed of four hollow cylinders made with a rotational moulding process to obtain interchangeable elements that can be assembled at will and fastened together in a compact manner. From the backrest to the seat, each unit can be placed in multiple positions, giving life to an element of design that reflects one’s individual needs and tastes.
The tubes that compose the chair are fastened by metal clamps. Originally produced by Flexform in 1969 it is now available from Cappellini (from 2016).
