Glove
Architonic ID: 20714572
Concept
"You wear it like a glove, it fits you like a glove." Every time we read these words, we knew what a wonderful feeling characters were experiencing. Whether it was a dress, a house, a love story, that experience was perfect, the body and thoughts moved with absolute naturalness and elegance, and life flowed happily. So when Francesco Rota thought of a name for his new stool, he had no doubts and named it GLOVE. Same pleasant comfort in the wide seat. Same enveloping profile. And above all, same ease in assembling and recycling each element. And given the tradition, we throw down a gauntlet to find a more beautiful solution for every moment of relaxation.
