The prototypical Iola with its tubular metal legs is E-ggs designer Gionna Scarselli's rethinking of a modernist totem€”the shell chair. In his hands, the backrest is pulled forward at the sides in a welcoming gesture and the inner polyurethane form is completely sheathed in padded upholstery for complete ergomatic comfort. The metal base provides a crisp complement, in a selection of matte finishes or gleaming copper.
