Coco is an outdoor steel chair/armchair, redesign of the classic slatted bar chair typical of the Italian Adriatic coast. Its name is an ironic reference to the navy-style clothes. The staves have a strong graphic presence and it’s really curious to see how they were transformed from a symbol of a humble profession (the sailor) in a fashion phenomenon.
