It consists of an innovative technic of the time of mouldering the wood. Seat and back in Vienna cannage.

The design is attributed to Max Fabiani, a young Designer-Architect, together with "Antonio Volpe", they found the perfect synthesis between creative genius and “justice and progress” as industrial values with the Model n.267. From this industrial project originated Italian design in the world of furnishing.

This chair was sold from the early Nineteen Twenties in three different designs: the basic model, the one with adjustable back and the one with adjustable back and footrest.

The last one is probably the most complete model that has been manufactured: with its three backrest positions and its four footrest positions, it is the final and best synthesis of all.

The company was founded in 1981 and closed it doors in 1939 (the company no longer exist).
