Tao – behind the production

“We wanted the metal structure to be obviously sturdy, in order to bear a community use, but we wanted it to be as light as possible from an aesthetic point of view.

That’s why we opted for a single vertical support, instead of the classic two, plus a horizontal traverse that forms this T-shape
from which the name of the chair itself derives.”

“Regarding the plywood there has been a long and laborious fine-tuning, because they clearly had to perfectly embrace both the metal frame and the aluminum die castings.

We had to make additional changes and fine-tuning so that structurally the overall structure would work fine and guarantee the right comfort.”
