Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Strip by Fabio Novembre for Italian furniture manufacturer Casamania is the asymmetric seat born from a surface that “gently folds into itself, flowing outwards almost like that of a woman’s skirt with a slit running up its profile on one side”.
Produced in polyethylene with rotational moulding, like most of Novembre’s chair designs Strip is suitable for outdoor use and is available in different colors, both in matte and lacquered versions.

Bek chair by Giulio Iacchetti is created using special Polygiene technology that gives the chair its unique antibacterial properties (How’s that for a season of flues?). The rigid yet light folding chair comes in red, black, white and green, and a set of 8 chairs can be held by a trolley done in black painted metal.
