The ERICE seating collection, designed by Alfredo Häberli, recalls the rigour and graphic clarity of Segesta, but with a new shape that gives it an authentic personality. A distinctive element is the hole cut out in the backrest that guarantees elasticity and comfort. The outer profile of the shell echoes the inner profile of the hole, creating a feeling of movement and balance.
ERICE is available with a spider or sled-shaped base, with wooden legs or on castors, thereby meeting the most varied demands.
