Description
Overview
The Neo Chair is designed by Fred Rieffel for Roche Bobois. Néo embodies refined minimalism, with every line shaped with purity in mind. Its distinctive signature is the backrest, which rests delicately on a wooden frame, an interaction that recalls hands gently supporting the seat. Carefully considered ergonomics and warm, rounded forms invite comfort and well-being.
Construction
The frame is solid stained beech, available in several finishes. The seat is polyurethane foam of 43 kg/m³ that is inherently fire-retardant, with a Roche Bobois protective fabric underneath. The backrest is polyurethane foam of 35 kg/m³, also inherently fire-retardant. The finish is a water-based stain, patina and varnish. The chair is made in Europe.
Configuration
Price: Bobby seat in Moss on a beech frame in Alezan (Chestnut).
