The diabolo, the central element, draws inspiration from the toy of the same name. Its concave outline enables elements to be slotted together – since the fireside chair is convex – to create a comfortable seat offering three seat places.
The settee is made from two fireside chairs with a diabolo in the centre. The three elements are held together by a linking-piece made from mirror-polished stainless.

Saparella
A re-release of a pioneering model from 1965, Saparella consists of a fireside chair, a diabolo and a footstool. This modular range of seating enables one to create and modify one’s room arrangement as desired. This composition, with its rounded, airy lines, issues an invitation to relaxation and conviviality.
