a playful spirit and rounded contours, trampoline chair is an elegant invitation to a contemporary outdoor feast, with a hint of mediterranean vitality. The structure, accented by tubular aluminium, welcomes two removable cushions for the seat and backrest. The soft padding of the latter, protected by water-repellent fabric, reveals a conscious soul and is made of circular materials: pet fibre wadding and polyurethane foam with a percentage of polyols of biological origin. A true domestic architectural gem, trampoline chair comes in two versions: the first repeats the common thread of the entire collection, which includes the table, through the hand-woven polypropylene and nylon cord that makes up the backrest; the second embodies the minimalist charm of the exposed metal structure.
