The straight lines of the wooden structure highlight the rounded shapes of the cushions and seats. What also stands out is the minimal structure of the backrest which offers excellent support thanks to two sturdy bent metal plates which give rise to a good mix of materials: metal, wood and fabric. Very interesting mainly for its lines and minimal shapes. Piero Ranzani was, like Gio Ponti for example, one of the first to use metal in this way, giving space to more minimalist constructions.
