Push Collection Armchair

Push Collection

Push Collection is a modular seating range built around a stackable armchair. The armchair design is reduced to a minimum in order to reveal the essence of each element. Only two materials are used: die-cast and extruded aluminium for the frame, which is fully recyclable, and technical fabric obtained from recycled PET bottles for the upholstery. By replacing a few parts of the seat frame, four items can be produced: a chair, an armchair, a backless seat and a two-seater armchair. The collection joins minimal form with sustainability and robustness.

L-shaped light troughs and linear wall washing fixtures are hidden on the facades to brighten the walls evenly.
