info The frame of Imperiale, a folding lounger, is comprised of hinged segments of flat steel struts. It is designed to provide w wise range of different positions, from upright to reclining, via simple movements. Cotton fabric, with a headrest padded with down, is sewn onto the moveable part of the frame, which is suspended from the armrests. Since these are the only part of the chair, apart from the seat, that comes into contact with the person using it, they are covered with beech for greater comfort. The lounger presents itself as a delicate, complex mechanism of levers and counterweights, underscored by the use of metal struts, perfectly suited to outdoor use.
