Antonio Citterio designed the Sella bench for the Maxalto line, which is notable for its straightforward yet inviting aesthetic.
From the interplay of the ergonomic framework and the materials, the designer's considered and original formal approach emerges.
To provide optimal comfort and support, the seat component is somewhat concave so that it conforms to the body's natural curvature. Leather or fabric upholstery complements the seat style, and a natural cellulose rope provides a third weaving option.
The meticulous joinery work that sets apart the items in the Maxalto collection is highlighted by the composition of the solid wood supporting structure that the collection is built upon.
Solidity and strength are contributed to the Sella bench by the pair of side uprights that face outwards towards the ground.
