Antonio Citterio's Caratos chair for Maxalto is a tactile, aesthetically pleasing, and practically useful piece of furniture that can connote its surroundings in a variety of ways.
The padded backrest follows suit with a lively design, all the while maintaining a soft and enveloping shape that serves as both a supportive lumbar structure and a handy armrest.
The entire load-bearing structure is made of die-cast aluminium, which complements the ergonomic system that was developed to provide the highest level of user satisfaction possible.
To highlight the excellent craftsmanship and leather upholstery, plastic polymer panels are employed for the chair's undercarriage, back, and seat parts. In a second iteration of the Caratos chair, every component is designed to ensure simple and practical use of the furnishing accessory, which is made effective by the use of lightweight materials and a minimal and essential design.
The Caratos chair's practical and utilitarian form ensures that the design complement can be used in both traditional and modern settings.
