Venexia
Ethimo | by Luca Nichetto
The elegance of the urban furniture of the late nineteenth century relives in a project that combines timeless charm and modern functionality. The aluminum structure that visually recalls the ancient railings, characterizes the sofas and the armchair, enveloping the generous and rounded forms of the seat with a feeling of lightness and robustness at the same time.
