A linear metal structure, running from the legs up to support the back, stands as a distinctive element of the design. Two enveloping shells for the seat and the backrest echo of a timeless elegance, while their pattern made by circular holes adds a modern architectural flare, functioning also as a grid where to attach additional paddings.
