Cila is a born performer. The contract-ready chair is highly adaptable: Five base options include everything from wooden legs to steel sled runners and aluminum swivels, while the durable plastic seat and back can be customized in one of five colourways or upholstered in a wide range of matching or contrasting fabrics. But it’s the seat back that really sets Cila apart. The distinctive curve, configured to look striking from all angles, was inspired by the image of layers of clothing enveloping the human form.
