Ginger Ale
Comfortable, versatile, elegant,
the Ginger Ale armchair is
just at home in the workspace, as a workstation or meeting room chair, as it is
in the domestic setting, in the study or dining room. To cater for all needs, Roberto Lazzeroni has produced
four variants: with four-leg base, with four-spoke base, with five-spoke base
and castors (fixed or adjustable height) and with column base (fixed or
swivel). The external shell is made from moulded thermoplastic composite
polymer and available in the colours “anthracite” and “cement”. The padding is
in polyurethane foam and the inside surface of the seat is upholstered in Pelle
Frau® leather. There are two variants of the Ginger Ale base: with “anthracite”
or “cement” lacquered finishes that match the shell. The 4-leg model has a
metal base formed of four conical feet, available with plastic caps or
adjustable plastic caps with felt pad. The 4-spoke base is in steel with black
plastic adjustable caps equipped with felt pads. The 5-spoke base with castors
is made of steel and available in both the 360° swivel version with fixed
height and the version with gas spring to adjust the seat height. The wheel
support is in black plastic for the lacquered versions or chromium-plated in
the chromium-plated version. The Ginger armchair with column base has a steel
base with black plastic caps. It comes in the fixed and swivel versions. The
latter has a shock absorbing device and automatic return to the starting
position.
