Story
The up-and-down version
Studio Giofra drew the Alex stools in two versions, fixed or up-and-down with a gas piston, and this one is the up-and-down stool.
Its back is the distinctive part: leather pieces are assembled on the outside, and two lines of edge-to-edge stitching mark where they meet. On the gas piston the seat height moves from 55 to 79 cm and the overall height from 80 to 104 cm.
