Composed by a chair, armchair and a stool, Classy is the result of an exemplary alchemy between functional elements and a particular aesthetic that together are found in the shell distinctive sign, gently modeled to ensure the highest standards of comfort and ergonomics.
The shape is a light, elegant and elastic sign, made even more evident by the play of contrasts of the alternation of matt and glossy surfaces.
A complete family for a wide variety of solutions that can lend free combinations for indoor and outdoor environments.

“Through exceptional attention to details and a refined design, the Classy family of chairs finds a natural balance between functionality and elegance. Composed by chair, armchair and stool, all of the elements find their signature mark in the shell, whose sturdiness appears effortlessly molded as being folded in two. The juxtaposition of different surfaces, matte below and shiny above on the ample seat and viceversa on the enveloping backrest, creates a play in contrasts and increases the effect of demarcation between the parts. Available with a choice of versions for the legs, the Classy family of chairs offers a variety of solutions for different environments, while guaranteeing comfort and a touch of preciousness.” Luca Nichetto
