Design Konstantin Grcic, 2009

"The Monza armchair is conceived as a simple wood-construction which formally refers to a typology of chairs originating in Scandinavia. The chair's main character is defined by a back/armrest in plastic moulding, which on the one hand serves the chair's structure and on the other provides comfort and colour." -Konstantin Grcic
