Glide

The inspiration for Glide came from observing nature, the constant, flowing transformation from one state to another, like snow melting in springtime. The light metal base supports a broad, slender seat made in comfortable variable-density polyurethane foam that envelops the body in a spontaneous, airy embrace.
