Pilot is a modern, innovative lounge chair, that is ideal for any type of space from the home to the office. The chair has a striking profile that perfectly suits the domestic setting whilst adapting perfectly for use as an executive armchair. The Pilot Chair features a cast-aluminum structure with the form of a “T” which links the swivel base to the assembly of the seat and back. At first glance the cantilevered seat seems to be almost floating in the air. This particular feature brings greater flexibility to the seat and lightness to the structure, creating a unique silhouette for an essential, timeless design.
