A part of the impressive Synthesis office furniture range designed by Sottsass, the Edys chair strikes a great balance of practicality and form. A simple design on the outside, there is a depth of complexity that can only be seen when the chair is flipped. An intricate metal panel allows for the base of the chair to be adjusted and customised, with different legs, arms and upholstery options available at the time of production.

Seen here in a classic black on black combination, the refined and clean back and legs are juxtaposed by more playful bold form of the arms.
