The Parabola Chair created by award-winning designer Carlo Aiello is the result of the analysis of hyperbolic paraboloids and their strong structural characteristics of minimal surface thickness and long spans. The research focused on the potential of calibrating these surfaces to the human body. Two paraboloids merge into a single surface that serves as seating, backrest, and armrest supported by a lightweight frame. The outcome is a highly sculptural chair seen as an open mesh that allows light and space to flow through - a porous visual statement that blends with its surrounding.
Fabricated in stainless steel, the Parabola Chair is ideal for indoors and outdoors and it is built to last and delight generations.
