Its shell is a genuine element of construction but also an elegant architectural detail while a small number of separate blocks in polyurethane foam give shape to the seat. Like a modular construction, the joint is precise, geometrically determined: a long zip along the edge of the seat provides the fixing for the cover. A single cover that adheres perfectly making it easy to fit as well as clean. This is industrial design, led by the characteristics of the materials throughout the entire process, from idea to end user.
