Marcello Ziliani designs a new variation of the Icon chair for the Italian imprint Mara with a highlight on its flexible polypropylene material. This is optimized to enhance the overall comfort of the chair with a versatile silhouette.
The new version features the same armrests to embrace the seater as the previous design but it is reinterpreted in a polypropylene plastic shell -- this ensures that it can be used in outdoor environments as well. The shell has more properties due to its greater elasticity which is carefully connected through the seat, armrest, and backrest for more comfort and movement to support a healthy sitting structure. The chair comes in five colors: Terracotta, Green, Light Blue, Black and White.
