Story
Essential lines
Poliform says essential lines distinguish the Manta chair, which is inviting and comfortable. It is credited to Rodrigo Torres, 2007.
At a table or a desk
The page says that, completely padded and upholstered in leather, Manta is suited to complementing imposing tables, and that its characterful presence also lets it serve alone as a desk chair. Poliform's designer page names the Manta chair among the works behind Torres's Lapiz de acero prizes.
