Interview Chair; Poltona Frau, Italy 1988.
This chair was designed for the Tg2 television set for a particular seating position. While the chair expresses the easiness of a lounge, in reality it is very much like a side chair, where you can talk and be alert. It is now successfully on the market for a variety of uses - which goes to show you the power of the TV media.
