Tube System

Tube is a seating system by Grucciadesign; the key feature is the tubular structure designed to support and embrace the seat at the same time. Once more the idea was to achieve formal purity.

In particular in Tube we conceived a marked contrast between the rigid structure and the softness of the upholstered parts: during the design phase we opted for different profiles. Between the various designs we adopted an oval section structure; that to combine aesthetic and structural demands, excellent stability and robustness together. The image of the structure was in accordance with our initial idea.

In our design of the seat, we started from a cockpit backrest, then reworked in various solutions to arrive at the finished one: a current, more linear shape, with the addition of armrests separated from the backrest. The ultimate design of the seat combines its softness with the rigid design of the structure.
