Phoenix is made from two curved aluminum sheets, whose symmetrical assembly serves as both the base, structure and seat of the chair. Despite its apparent rigidity, the chair offers a high level of comfort thanks to its upholstered seat and backrest.

The Phoenix chair is a technical marvel that seamlessly combines the delicacy of aluminum with its inherent rigidity, providing a seat that is both graceful and robust. Drawing inspiration from the futuristic momentum of the Space Age, but it is also a tribute the architecte Rdoloph Schindler.
