Catalan designer Eugeni Quitllet works together with Spanish imprint Vondom to create the Madison chair. It is an outdoor dining chair that is made with inspiration from the architecture and energy of New York City. The Madison comes in four colorways for the frame, and four styles for the seat and rest. These include resin slats, soft-rouches, wood styles, and perforations.
Quitllet shares more on the design, "Madison reflects that vital attitude of the big city, a place where deep-rooted traditions mingle with the modern pulse. The result is a piece that embraces comfort, but with that unmistakable Vondom touch. The essence of a Manhattan street that still retains its energy and has been able to adapt to the passage of time to remain a reference of both architectural style and the New Yorker way of living."
