FRAME CHAIR Collection

Alberto Meda, 1991

The FRAME CHAIR collection displays a light and rigorous style, which results in comfortable seats. The stackable chairs Highframe 40, Bigframe 44 and Frame 52 differ in their proportions and are available with or without armrests. The Frame stools, offered in two heights, are perfectly consistent with the whole collection. The version with seat and backrest out of PVC-coated polyester mesh is complemented by the leather and fabric versions for a more sophisticated style.
Frame represents a landmark in contemporary design and is still one of Alias' most successful product lines.

The reduction in the number of components, the integration of functions and the enhancement of material performance are the essential elements of the Frame’s identity.
