Mdf Italia - Sign Filo chair

The Sign chair celebrates its anniversary with the creation of a product of great impact and character. The new Sign Filo is a perfect combination of design and craftsmanship and its workmanship is similar to that of a refined jewel. In fact, the creative process of the seat evokes the ancient goldsmith technique of filigree that is performed by weaving and welding together very thin threads of precious metals.
Forty-five meters of steel wire, in four different diameters, draw the silhouette of Sign Filo. As for the processing of a bijou, the individual components of the product - 16 shoulders and 12 transoms - are assembled manually with more than 226 welding points.

Sign Filo is totally made in Italy with top quality materials and production processes.
