TAO LOUNGE CHAIR
From this more than consolidated solution, the work focused on formal cleanliness and structural research until a support system was found that was reduced to the essentials, a robust and simple frame capable of transmitting lightness, transforming the seat and backrest into two sheets suspended in the air, without screws or rivets as in the previous examples.
The two die-cast aluminium ends were the decisive choice, solving at the same time the backrest attachment system and constituting the distinctive feature of the product. Tao is a strong, refined chair, with a clean, friendly face but a sophisticated, pragmatic soul.
Eclipse is composed of four tables of different shapes, sizes and heights. The smaller tables can be concealed under the larger ones and effectively disappear, just like a natural eclipse.
The table shapes compliment each other and can be combined to make free flowing combinations that are unique and ever changing. Eclipse tables allow personal creativity.
The Eclipse tables are a contemporary interpretation of the traditional nesting tables. Eclipse, an essential design whose fundamental nature is expressed by the personality and generosity of its forms.
