The measured intensity of colour
The tubular steel frame of Antibodi becomes the starting point which the designer uses for a creative makeover. The frame is disguised and transformed, the seats assume different personalities according to the material used. The wrapping of thread works like pencil lines, creating a surface which is both graphic and structural, both part of its construction and a form of identity: playful when two or three colours are used, sophisticated in a single colour, elegant in leather.
Frame in stainless steel or varnished with glides in PVC. Weave in Natural Polymer leather or in engineering polymer yarn.
