Banqueta Alta is an icon of Argentinian design, a symbol of modernity that has tried to overcome gravity. The aesthetic autonomy has been achieved through the distribution of the chair’s own weight. The stool consists of a curved, continuous round iron rod, which is lacquered or chrome-plated. The seat is made of multiplex wood.
