Martino Gamper proposes a new reading of the informal seating concept with the TRIO stool, available in two heights, Trio alto and Trio bass.
The tripod structure plays with the icons of the brand, offering bent wood elements of different angles that recall the geometry of the triangle. Three sections of an offset semicircle define the connection support of the legs on which rests a triangular seat with rounded profiles.
