Description
This set of Agorà chairs was designed by Paolo Favaretto for the Italian manufacturer Emmegi during the 1970s. The frame is made of anodized aluminum. The seat and backrest are made of bent beech plywood. Furniture made of this material combines the simplicity of form with the natural character of wood. The bends and roundings of the wood make them similar to the forms created by nature. The wide seat and contoured backrest ensure the comfort of the chair. The feet of the legs are adjustable. Agorà is the first chair that Paolo designed for Emmegi.
