Story
Emmanuel Gallina, 2022
The designer and year given for the Curve chair are Emmanuel Gallina, 2022. Poliform adds that the chair is ideally combined with the table by the same name.
Solid wood with soft curves and tapering lines
The soft curves and tapering slender lines draw on modern design, and the intended result is a chair that feels classic yet contemporary. Behind the apparent simplicity lies an intricate crafting of solid wood.
