Constructed in a one piece nylon polymer and transparent polycarbonate, Heller has reissued this Vico Magistretti's 70's classic which is included in the MoMa permanent design collection, the Vitra Museum, and leading museums around the world. This sleek chair can infuse style whether for indoor/outdoor commercial, institutional, and residential use. Stackable up to six chairs high, these chairs provide for easy storage. The innovative S-shaped leg withstands maximum tensile stress in a graceful way.
Hailed as one of the masters of modern Italian design, Vico Magistretti created, from the 1960's on, a dazzling array of architecture, furniture and everyday objects. Throughout his long and illustrious career, Vico Magistretti has won innumerable awards and honors, including three Compasso d'Oro awards. Magistretti has influenced generations of designers with his emphasis on what he calls "concept design." Concept design, he says, "starts from a precise executive and functional concept and is so simple that it endows the object with its distinctive character."

An international furniture manufacturer with production in the US and in Europe, Heller was incorporated in 1971. The company’s first venture was an award-winning line of stacking dinnerware designed by Massimo Vignelli that is currently in the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
These days, Heller is best known for it’s furniture division, launched in 1998. The Bellini Chair, designed by Mario Bellini won the Compaso d’Oro ADI and kicked off a line of many more award-winning chair creations.
For many years, Heller has offered leading international designers the opportunity to work with new technologies to create innovative products, helping the placement of Heller products in design collections world wide. Museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Lourve Museum of Decorative Arts, The Smithsonian and the Vitra Museum are all a part of this long, distinguished list.
Heller continues to explore new technologies and processes for manufacturing furniture, and will continue releasing award worthy designs well into the future.
