Description

Caratos is a range of upholstered chairs that all have a recognisable die-cast aluminium frame and four-leg base. One version features an enveloping upholstered backrest that also forms the armrest, whereas another version has a high or low barrel backrest, fluid shapes and lightweight frame. With its technical expertise and knowledge of various materials, especially die-cast aluminium, Activa has consolidated its collaboration with the company, largely acknowledged for its upholstered furniture.
