Dated 2025

The page and the product sheet date Metropolitan Relax to 2025; the series text on the same page runs from 2002, so the year of this chair is the later one. B&B Italia says the chair was designed for a new level of well-being and adaptability.

Rocking, swivelling, with a new headrest

The “tilt” rocking and swivel mechanism lets the chair follow the body's natural movements, according to the page. A newly designed upper backrest and headrest are described as supporting the head and upper body, and the page places the chair in residential interiors, luxury hospitality and executive office spaces.
