Description«A less well-known chair than Hans Coray’s famous Landi Chair, and coming more than a decade after it, not nearly so innovative, this chair nevertheless has qualities. The shape of the seat and backrest are particularly pleasing and the economy of the structure is notable, achieved with just four lengths of bent steel tube. Also the introduction of colour on the perforated aluminium in contrast with the uncoated aluminium of the Landi Chair is an interesting and particularly Swiss development.»
