Design by Piero Lissoni. Made in Italy by Kartell.
Plastics is a system of modular seating whose simple and linear elements can stand alone or in multiple combinations, allowing for maximum design freedom. The transparent polycarbonate base and the use of rubberized technical fabrics on the soft polyurethane cushion combine aesthetic innovation with modern functionality. Plastics seating is formed by four separate elements: Ottoman, Armless Seat, Seat with Right Armrest and Seat with Left Armrest and is available in Orange, White or Black.

Piero Lissoni
After receiving his degree in architecture form the Milan Polytecnic, Piero Lissoni worked as a furniture designer before founding his own studio in 1986, specializing in architecture, interior and graphic design. He has collaborated with Boffi Cucine, Living Divani, Mateograssi and Kartell, and worked on a number of architecture projects in Japan, with design projects that have included a shopping center, an art gallery, a Cordon Bleu cooking school, logos and trademarks. His awards include the 1991 Esprit kitchen design and the Compasso d'Oro design prize. He has also received the Chicago Athenaeum 2002 Good Design® Award for this collection.
Piero Lissoni's design principle is never to design for a specific function or purpose - but to design for human beings.
Youthful and trendy, yet sophisticated and refined. Plastics offers maximum seating flexibility.
Kartell products can be easily recycled.

Herman Miller's 3D Intelligent back material is a seating technology designed for the SAYL™ Chair. The 3-dimensional mesh-like suspension material is stretched from the Y-Tower at the back of the chair just as cables are stretched from the towers of a suspension bridge. The tension is greater in the transition areas, from the thoracic to the lumbar regions and between the lumbar area and sacrum. "Hinge points" allow these areas to flex and support the healthy, forward rotation of the pelvis. At the same time, less tension in other parts of the back encourages a full range of seated movement.
Y-Tower
Y-Tower is the primary support structure of Herman Miller's SAYL™ Chair. The Y-Tower retains tension, replacing the traditional frame of task chairs. It works like the towers from which a bridge is suspended and combines with a 3D Intelligent suspension material to provide frameless back support that hugs the user's back from resting through reclining, forward leaning and twisting motions.
