Story
Simplicity without losing comfort
The factbook's ID Air chapter says the chair represents simplicity in design without relinquishing comfort.
Firm and pliant zones
In the factbook's words the perforation pattern and the high-tech plastic create firmer zones to support and more pliant zones to grant freedom of movement; the backrest is also offered in light colours, easy to clean.
