Fascinating minimalism: the Velos lounge chair.
The extremely graceful and inviting chair has been especially designed for places where informal encounters happen.
Places where a light and loose atmosphere can be created that also projects quality. The smooth lines of the foot section and the distinctive seat frame are fascinating due to their subtle, organic minimalism – plus a high degree of seated comfort that is provided by an innovative, seamless and structured cover using shaped knitting technology. The range is completed by a footstool and a matching three-legged side table.
