Ego Meeting
The Ego chair represents the formal
simplicity of a comfortable embrace. Pininfarina has designed a seat with understated geometries
and a strong visual presence in the workspace. The supporting structure is made
from steel with moulded polyurethane foam padding. Elastic belts are used for
the seat spring system. To Ego Meeting chair can be easily moved thanks to a
handle towards the top of the backrest and four little castors hidden under the
base (two soft fixed castors at the front and two soft automatic-braking swivel
castors at the back). Alternatively, the Ego chair is available with hard, free
hard or soft automatic-braking rear swivel castors. The upholstery is in Pelle Frau®
leather.

Paolo Pininfarina |
Founded
by Pininfarina, the company was born in 1930. In 1947 the Cisitalia car entered
the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York. In 1952 it started its partnership
with Ferrari. In 1972, they created the first full-scale wind tunnel in Italy,
one of just a few worldwide. In 1986 Pininfarina Extra S.r.l. was formed - a
company linked to the group and dedicated to product design. In the 1990s they
produced new research prototypes, most of which were aimed at solving energy
and environment problems, such as the GM Chronos with Poltrona Frau seats.
Design collaboration with car manufacturers led to: Ferrari 512 TR, 456 GT 2+2,
Peugeot 306 Cabriolet, Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, F355 Spider and F50, Alfa Romeo
Spider and GTV, Ferrari 550 Maranello and 456M, Peugeot 406 Coupé and Saloon,
Ferrari 360 Modena and Spider. |
