Concept
The system is done, the variation is ready to be found. This could be the motto for the new lapalma modular seating designed by Francesco Rota. The original project of UNO, which gives its name to the whole system, is just the first step to develop several proposals to furnish different spaces: offices, lounge areas and even elegant contemporary interiors.
The system is very easy: one seat combines with four seatbacks. Thanks to all of these possible combinations, many new seating types can be created: operative, executive, for meeting or lounge areas, for living rooms. Possibilities also increase thanks to the wide range of basis, finishing and upholsteries available. The welcoming backrest of the executive version is high and essential in order to guarantee the best support for shoulders and back. If it is changed with a lower one, this creates a more accommodating seating which can be used to furnish an elegant living room or a more relaxing meeting area.
UNO is ergonomic and comfortable and can be assembled in a few steps: the seat made of polyurethane foam upholstered with fabric can be easily fixed on the basis (fixed or on castors, 4-star or 4-spoke basis). Thanks to its versatility, UNO is the protagonist in the office, at home and in any space for the collectivity.
