One of Luca’s underlying characteristics is being curious and focused. The HDS system is very much a realization of his ideals both in the methods he used for its development and in its final form. “The idea for the HDS 1.1 was to create an incredibly thin and light stackable chair with good ergonomic shapes” says Luca. Using his advanced engineering design approach Luca put resolved a technically challenging issue: how to set seat and back within the frame rather than onto it.

With the HDS the seat and back become part of the frame itself . Not just a good design but rather a great one, where quality is integrated on all sides and the product is clean and friendly with a great attention to detail. An example of Luca’s design process and product philosophy.
