Kobi collection

The Kobi family includes various seats. Kobi chair and Kobi sledge, Kobi stool and the armchairs Gran Kobi and Gran Kobi essentiel comfortable and versatile, ideal for domestic spaces but also for hospitality and contract spaces.

The body is a sort of rigorous and enveloping basket, created by woven soldered round steel wire. The support belt, made from cast aluminium embraces the seat elegantly, totally enveloping the form. The leather or fabric cushions are available for the seat only, seat plus back and full shell option. They are shaped to adhere perfectly to the shell and to form a visual whole with the structure. Two different structures are available: support and legs in stove-enamelled aluminium with coloured or chromed shell; stove enamelled support and aluminium legs in oak-veneered aluminium with shell lacquered in different colours.
