Industrial Design Student Work: A Chair Designed for Painters

This Leo chair is by Teo Primo Frizzarin, an Industrial Design student at ECAL. It aims to consider the ergonomics of those working on a canvas rather than a desk. "For painters, working on a vertical surface rather than horizontal one creates physical problems, mainly related to not having adequate arm support. Leo is a chair developed for canvas painters." "Its seat, inspired by a horse's saddle allows a stable posture while guaranteeing great mobility in space." "Its adjustable armrest provides support that adapts easily to different positions and heights." The Leo was Frizzarin's diploma project, and won a "Très Bien" mention.
