The Italian/Danish duo consisting of Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi manages a perfect balancing act, taking the DNA of Gebrüder Thonet Vienna and adding two new, interesting links to the chain. Curved beech and Vienna straw characterise the Targa sofa and armchair, developing the typical traditional elements in a contemporary form. The painstaking craftsmanship and delicate colour palette complete the sweet look of a successful project.
