A perfect combination between clear-cut shapes and solidity
The Precious bar stools design is an attempt to slim down the cross-section to the lowest limit possible in order to create a lightweight, elegant product that would defy the laws of physics. The product’s minimalist shape nevertheless is combined with solidity, making it suitable for heavy-duty use, such as in the contract industry. A perfect combination, therefore, and not a contraposition between crisp, clear-cut shapes and solidity. In line with the trending taste and love for “precious” materials, the Precious collection offers a rich variety of fabrics and finishes and pays meticulous attention to detail.
The legs of the bar stool are extremely slender and the chrome-plated or painted steel plate forming the base of the seat sports a minimalist design reminiscent of the shape of a thin ring or wedding ring.
Injected flame-retardant flexible foam over internal steel frame. Varnished or electroplated stainless steel base. Polypropylene gliders.
