Story
Brutalist leanings
Giulio Cappellini designed Selettiva Cantù as a chair that joins simplicity with expressive strength and becomes a sculptural element. The base's bold thicknesses rise to form the seat and the backrest.
Soft cover, firm structure
The upholstered seat and backrest contrast with the rigour of the oak structure, which enhances the contemporary design of the chair. The chair is made in Italy for indoor use.
