Description
Overview
Michel Effe, 2015, by Antonio Citterio, is an essential evolution of Michel: modular and in-line compositions with a single seat cushion, offered in two depths.
Construction
A die-cast aluminium support frame stands on feet 19 cm high. Back, armrest and seat frames of steel, with a wood panel in the seat, carry foam and down cushions under a fabric or leather cover.
Specifications
The widest single element is 253 cm wide and 71.5 cm high: 104 cm deep as MF256 and 89 cm deep as 9MF256. Other elements are 153, 179, 203, 223 and 228 cm wide.
Story
Essential by subtraction
B&B Italia presents Michel Effe as an evolution of Michel in which everything superfluous has been removed; the page ties this essential style to a rigorous base frame and a seat with a single cushion.
In two depths
The system comes in two depths, and the page says its elements allow in-line and modular compositions that run from formal to casual.
