In designing River, we have taken into account a type of use that involves longer residence times, as can happen in an airport. So we wanted to include in the back design, a comfortable seat (large thick foam in key pressure point), a smooth section that would allow easy piulizia the packaging industry itself, thin legs and seat off the ground.
Putting together these needs, we have created a deeper section in the center and on the slender profiles, ensuring a slight visual impact along with the seating comfort. The wide accessibility and visibility of the underside allows easy cleaning and control of security in public waiting areas in airports and stations. They were in fact designed and built several tipologies of bases, to reach the final solution that has convinced the visual lightness and robustness. The technology designed to tension the coating allows the lasting stability even in high-traffic environments.
