Form Lounge Chair by Kartell designed by Piero Lissoni
Form is ideal for both home and business use. The basic element of the Form series is a seat created from a sheet of semi-structural polyurethane that lies on a light, chromed steel structure. It has a wide, comfortable seat as the result of meticulous research into the thickness of the material. This research has enabled a reduction in thickness of the material; the Form Chair has a seat thickness of only 1 inch, without sacrificing solidity, resistance, or flexibility. The series can be expanded by placing the armchairs side by side to form long benches.
