A modular system featuring simple, essential volumes, Refolo was created by Charlotte Perriand in Tokyo in 1953, yet remains as current as it was then. The design prioritised functionality, leading the designer to simplify shapes, drawing her inspiration from the orient. Set at an ideal height for a variety of tasks, the horizontal plane is composed of 19 parallel strips of wood in either natural or dark stained oak, supported by two or three legs. The padded seats are integrated harmoniously using a simple anchoring device, so they can be located wherever required. Ideal for the living room or other areas where people can unwind, Refolo lends itself to a variety of configurations to enhance relaxation and conversation.
