Multichair is a convertible system consisting of two individual elements that can easily turn into a conversation/relaxation chair. Designed in 1970 by Joe Colombo and produced by B—Line, this is a product designed with the total attention and full respect that a veritable design icon deserves. Both cushions have a steel internal structure and are upholstered in polyurethane foam. At the edges, the upholstering stretch fabric is glued to keep its shape unaltered, while leather belts, with the help of pins and buckles, keep the elements together. Apart from the technical content and the quality of materials, Multichair might not exemplify simplicity in design, but through its versatility, playfulness, and minimalist form, it's a modernist gem packed with character.
