About this Product
AEO is a light, comfortable lounge chair that can be taken apart, washed and reassembled. Featuring a grey lacquered steel frame and seat cushion with your choice of fabric or leather upholstery. Aeo’s design was one of the first deconstructions of the modern armchair in 1973. The chair was born out of designer Paolo Deganello’s desire to create something free from conventions with an unrestricted experimental use of new materials and possibilities.

Derganello lectures in various universities, and has as many theoretical irons in the fire with articles in the main specialist periodicals.
