the arketipo ‘manta’ armchair by giuseppe viganò

 

 

designed by giuseppe viganò, arketipo’s ‘manta’ armchair was ‘born to astonish’ and expresses a very provocative and strong personality. the chaise longue enables multiple sitting positions to provide an enveloping and personal experience. this is a result of the furniture’s more informal and lounge-like form, as dominated by its curved arm, yet still imposes an elegant appearance with its choice of material.
