Story
Diagonals that rise into armrests
Tapinassi and Manzoni drew the contours of the Kompass bridge chair by playing with the diagonals of the base. They extend upward as if to form the armrests. At the back, the backrest appears to be suspended, which adds to the comfort. The shell is beech plywood padded with high-resilience foam and upholstered in fabric or leather.
