Story
Emmanuel Gallina
Emmanuel Gallina is the designer named for Henry in Poliform's catalogue, in the entry that carries its technical drawing.
Light looks, concealed mechanics
The catalogue text says the sun bed hides complex construction details behind a light, understated aesthetic. Teak stays visible under the cushion, while the backrest mechanism is hidden and the wheels are part of the structure.
