allovoro

Designed by Michele De Lucchi & Gerhard Reichert allavoro 492 is an office chair whose design roots go back to the wooden office chairs of the turn of the 20th century, yet incorporates a full synchronous swivel/tilt mechanism for maximum comfort and support. The design is characterised by its unobtrusive yet distinctive visual impact in a Home Office setting, and the minimal use of materials.

The swivel chair incorporates our automatic synchronous action, refined over the last 20 years to give infinite adjustment and long-term trouble free use. The visitor/meeting chairs use the renowned Bauhaus-Freischwinger cantilever design based on the concept by Gert Stuttgen (1924) and Mart Stam (1926) for which we still have protection as a Creation of Applied Art under copyright law.
