Story
Soft shapes, a joint at the legs
Opale is characterised by soft, organic shapes. The legs integrate into the backrest and form a subtle joint that defines the chair's profile, and their oval section tapers downwards into a round, slender shape.
The handle in the backrest
The feature of Opale is the functional handle at the rear of the backrest. It blends into the silhouette of the chair and enhances its three-dimensional look.
