Designed by Simone Micheli for Adrenalina, Symbol is a slightly asymmetrical armchair that can be colorfully customized. The out-of-kilter shape defies tradition, but it remains appropriate for both modern and traditional settings.
The inner woodframe construction is fully padded with polyurethane foam and fiberfill. Upholstery can be ordered permanently affixed or removable for cleaning and is available as woven fabric, leather, and vinyl.
