Designed to be used in different spaces and contexts, the UNNIA TAPIZ groups all the versions with upholstered seat and backrest of the UNNIA family.
This collection shares the same philosophy as the collection with seats and plastic backrests: the possibility of combining seats, backrests and arms with a wide range of bases to create infinite custom designs. The backrest and armrests can be upholstered with all the fabrics and leathers of the INCLASS swatch or with fabrics supplied by the client. The varied range of bases and structures are available in a wide selection of finishes. This allows to create an unlimited repertoire of applications in projects and diverse spaces. The UNNIA chairs have been awarded with the prestigious design award "Design Guild Mark".
