Duo
Manutti | by Koen Van Extergem
In their durable yet airy design, the Duo chair and rocking chair radiate purity. Marked by the duality of traditional craftsmanship and meticulous aluminum work, both chairs are beacons of transparency. Duo is composed of two connected frames made of bent aluminum, giving the impression of being held together by ropes. The Duo rocking chair is the winner of the 2018 Archiproducts Design Award in the ‘Outdoor’ category.
