Concept
The idea for the MONZA armchair and chair is the combination of the two materials wood and plastic injection moulding and hence, the artisan roots of Plank with the characteristics of modern industrial design. Both are conceived as a simple wood-construction which formally refers to a typology of chairs originating in Scandinavia. The chairs main character is defined by an organically formed polypropylene back-/armrest, which on the one hand serves the chair’s structure and on the other provides comfort and colour. Optionally, in addition, a removable seat cushion can be attached.
The MONZA armchair also fits perfectly for seminars and conferences, integrated with a smart linking device that at the same time functions as a tray.
The bar and bistro area are best equipped with the MONZA chair. Its curvy shape of the backrest and the short armrests makes it possible to dock the chair on the table top and thus facilitates cleaning.
To complete the collection the MONZA table was created, a table system which can be variously configured. Depending on size, format and material choice the MONZA table offers itself for different applications: from the stackable café/bistro table to the working and conferencing table into the living areas the table thanks to an intelligent aluminum die casting junction can be configured for functional solutions. The table is produced with legs in either solid ash or aluminum extrusion. The table tops, made of black or white high pressure laminate, are particularly resistant for professional applications.Technical details table: Table system: structure in aluminum white or black powder coated, legs in aluminum white or black powder coated or in ash natural lacquered, table top in high pressure laminate (HPL) in the colors white or black.
