The Italian designer has reduced the product to its essence and greatly simplified the manufacturing and assembly process. Paro chairs have a light, thin and sinuous design, characterised by the T-shape of the wooden shell, which can be padded entirely or only on the backrest.
Paro is designed for the home and office, but it can also be used outdoors. Due to its slim design and small footprint, the chair is easy to move and stack. Various colours, finishes and upholstery materials are available.
