Kato Lounge sofa and chair takes the idea of a classical sofa and gives it a modern, timeless and professional appeal. Perfect for private and public spaces, the Kato’s form adapts to its environment and to the human body. The seat holds your weight and the back supports your body with extra padding which regains its form seconds after you get up. The slender armrests define and conclude the form with respect to space and location. The volume of the bulk is starkly contrasted by hovering on a needle-slender frame, lightening the visual effect. The rest is logic and symmetry.
