The true hallmark of the “Prima” model is its backrest, comprising two rotating cylinders made of black polyurethane foam. This detail, as well as lending the chair a strong graphic and sculptural character, offers dynamic comfort by adapting to the posture of the back. Exhibited in the world’s most important design museums (including the MoMA in New York), the “Prima” chair is not merely a dining or study chair, but a genuine investment in the world of designer collectables.
