"Nemo" is an iconic polyethylene monobloc head-armchair available in denim color, made by rotational molding. Fixed (indoor and outdoor use) or swivel (indoor use only) versions available. DIMENSIONS: D. 32.6", W. 35.4", H. 53.1", Seat H. 16.1" FABIO NOVEMBRE uses furniture design to tell intense and fascinating stories in which the protagonist is often the human figure.
