Story
A work chair shaped around adjustment
Kartell's product text frames Spoon Chair around the needs of workspace seating: technological features, flexibility and a thickness that can be customised according to the user's weight. The adjustment handle is not added as a visible control; it is built into the lower body and hidden inside the stem so that it does not interrupt the curve of the line.
