Elegant appereance and flexible use
Inspired by the shifting curves of a human torso in motion, GamFratesi’s Dorso chair combines a rounded exterior with a rotating base, creating a relaxing and functional lounge chair. Dorso’s compact dimensions, swivel mechanism, and high level of comfort make it suitable for many different contexts, ranging from conferences, lounges, and waiting areas in public environments to homes and other private settings.
GamFratesi is a Copenhagen-based design agency comprising architect Stine Gam (born in Denmark in 1975) and industrial designer Enrico Fratesi (born in Italy in 1978), who met while studying architecture in Italy and founded their design agency GamFratesi Studio in Copenhagen in 2006. Using their dual cultural backgrounds, they fuse classic Danish craft traditions with a timeless Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Their designs are characterised by an honest, natural expression, and the desire to communicate a story through the use of tradition, innovation and functionality. GamFratesi have received international recognition and they have exhibited work all over the world. For Hay, they have designed the Silhouette Sofa, Tuluo Table and Dorso.
A ROTATING LOUNGE CHAIR
Dorso is a sleek, compact lounge chair with an integrated swivel mechanism. It has a beautiful shape and a comfortable seat, as well as a surprise function not often found in a four-legged lounge chair: 360 degrees of rotation.
A chair with a swivel-base is a highly practical chair that allows its user increased flexibility. This quality makes Dorso an interesting addition to a range of public environments, including lobbies and lounges. It would also work well in the domestic sphere, especially as it offers great comfort in a compact design and can fit into limited space.
