About this product
Architonic ID: 1026753
Year of Launch: 2007
After Air-Chair, the first seat to use airmoulding technology, the chair First breaks new ground in this technology once again (hence its name). The empty frame is used not only for volumes with a small, tubular cross-section, but also for the wider and more complex volumes of the entire seat and back. This makes it possible to create a more organic, three-dimensional form, without the visible tubular structures seen in other chairs.
Stacking chair
Material: polypropylene with glass fibre added. Air-moulded. Suitable for outdoor use.
