Story
A town and its warrior statues
Riace is an ode to the beauty of a town known for its famous Warrior statues, and a short-circuit of dynamic rigour. The design plays on contrasting lines and volumes.
Slender frame, wide seat
The dynamic rigour comes from the slender white bronze frame, which supports a seemingly suspended, wide upholstered seat and backrest. The fabric covers can be changed to suit different furnishing needs.
