linito is a two piece modern furniture collection by tokyo-based designer yu ito for formabilio. the duo–chair and stool–are made of folded, laser-cut steel sheet. colorful finishes lighten the rigor of the material, and optional eco-friendly cushioning gives it a hint of coziness. perfect in a living room or at the head of a table, ‘linitos’ dramatic presence adds to any room. the chair can be found on formabilio here
