The design poetics of Sou Fujimoto, one of the leading designers of contemporary architecture, meets the technological lightness of Alias, for which he creates a bookstore, a library for the home characterised by a new and innovative approach.

Inspired by the relationship between architectural space and the human body, the Japanese architect has designed a compact and essential bookcase from which you can pull out a chair. A true object within an object, which underlines the relationship between people and books: after choosing a book, the reader can take the chair and sit down to read it.

The simple and extremely clean configuration of the bookcase is enriched by the soft and sinuous lines of the chair which, depending on the use, can be kept in a space inside the bookcase or, when in use, can be free in the space of the bookcase. In this way, the library becomes an element of the environment in which it is installed, playing an active and constantly evolving role.

The chair is available in a single colour - white - in order to emphasise the abstraction of the product and the strong links between the content and the container, between the container and the user. Available in one size, the office chair is produced in wood fibre panels.

The AFI chair's attention to detail and the finest craftsmanship make it the ideal all-round chair.
Adaptable to the specifics of each environment, it is an obvious choice for hotels, medical centres, restaurants, offices, as well as residential and public spaces.
The backrest is designed with comfort in mind, gently enveloping the user and ensuring a stable seating position.
AFI's matt black frame blends in perfectly with any interior, emphasising the chair's elegant shape.
The seat and backrest are made from plywood with a veneer available in two shades of oak.
Minimalism and high-quality materials give AFI a Scandinavian design that is far from accidental.
