Background information
”Mix is a family of easy chairs for executive offices, workspaces, conference rooms and waiting areas. It features a revolutionary system for connecting the body of the seat and the supportive frame. Two pieces in die-cast aluminium alloy are joined using a metal plate, which has also been die cast. The outcome is a gondola-style element that hooks onto the sides of the seat.”
