Torino, April 14th2015 - Pininfarina and Reflex present in world premiere at the Milan Furniture Fair an innovative chair for home: Vela. I t is the second result of the partnership following the great success met by Sit, elegant seat that marked the beginning of the partnership in the Nineties'.

Vela is a chair distinguished by a unique character, conceived for the most refined and elegant domestic spaces. The Pininfarina team has in fact worked to convey dynamic and sensual lines to the product, able to transmit a strong sense of lightness. Vela is made of two independent shells: the seatback shell has in fact been suspended on the seat shell. An accurate choice of the materials - smooth leather for the external shell and nabuk or leather for the interior - emphasizes the contrast among the surfaces.

Strong is the link with the car bodies: the exterior, characterized by a plastic effect, communicates protection while the interior, softer, transmits a sense of comfort. The chair
legs have been carefully designed: the smoothed section accentuates the combination
of solidity and lightness, the features characterizing the product.
'The f urniture is an ideal sector f or the application of our design' affirms Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman of the Group. 'The combination of innovative technologies with classical design makes our f urniture solutions unique and long-lasting'.

The statement is proven by the other products on display at the Furniture Fair.
