Words from the jury:
“A fresh spin on a classic concept, a new interpretation and style in a contemporary sense: this is Mossa, an agile, accessible and functional seat – thanks to the evergreen versatility of folding chairs – which at the same time expresses its young and lively character thanks to its wide range of colours.”

Love the chair!! Good work! (Go, Simo, go!) :)
Just groundbreaking…… Maybe they should get rid of the computer and use regular mail again too.
lol the wood has split in that close-up
Mossa Chair looks very cool! But in reality is very weak. In my opinion has little stability and it moves all because the joints are not fixed as well!
What's this trend of pictures of chairs held in the air by a hand ?
Its a 'Bouroullec style' photo & they've been doing that for about 10 years, many other designers have adopted it over the years.
I think its to suggest 'lightness' or 'arty' or 'ooooh'
this design is nice..I like this…modern and classic are available in this design.
