Story
The chair that completes Ponte
Poliform's 2026 news catalogue presents the chair as the piece that completes the Ponte collection by Emmanuel Gallina, which it describes as drawing on the nautical world.
Made to sit with the Curve table
The product page says Ponte was designed to complement the Curve table, and the catalogue says that, as with the table, the teak structure is enhanced by rope detailing and by the fabric of the cushions.
