Lina has been developed for Elon Design Furniture, based on research on tubular metal armchairs, which started being designed in the Bauhaus. To warm things up in a Brazilian way, wood was included as part of the structure. The metal continued to be used in the connections for many reasons: to reinforce fragile points, to make the serial production easier, to facilitate any repairs, to create an unique visual signature and a solid but light structure. As a result, Lina Armchair stands out for its sophistication, comfort, elegant combination of materials, and attention to details.
Leo Mangiavacchi is Brazilian, Italian, citizen of the world, father of the incredible Lina and Milo and loves to travel by bike. Always looks for solutions that combine simplicity with expressiveness and design with the head in the clouds and feet on the floor.
