« The Cantilever series springs from the idea of a chair made entirely in steel with a cantilever structure, combining the company’s manufacturing tradition with its vocation toward experimental design. The result is an extremely comfortable chair, which gives an oscillating effect, almost as if gently rocking whoever sits in it. The lightness and transparency of the structure led to the developing of a complete line: chairs, in the armchair and low armchair versions, a large rectangular table and a lounger. The chairs are completed with cushions in the new Emu outdoor fabrics (solid color and stripes) providing the greatest comfort in use and a pleasing aesthetic detail. »
