This could be the motto for the new lapalma modular seating designed by Francesco Rota. The original project of UNO, which gives its name to the whole system, is just the first step to develop several proposals to furnish different spaces: offices, lounge areas and even elegant contemporary interiors. The welcoming backrest of the executive version is high and essential in order to guarantee the best support for shoulders and back. If it is changed with a lower one, this creates a more accommodating seating which can be used to furnish an elegant living room or a more relaxing meeting area. UNO is ergonomic and comfortable and can be assembled in a few steps: the seat made of polyurethane foam upholstered with fabric can be easily fixed on the basis.
MATERIALS:
- Seat and backrerst are made of fire retardant polyurethane foam upholstered with fabric, leather or eco-leather.
- Base in die-cast aluminum, either sandlblasted or powder coated, with castors.
