Fonda was born from the designer’s archetypal vision of what a chair represents. Its defining feature is the handle on the backrest—an inviting gesture that encourages interaction and doubles as a practical hanger for bags or clothing.

“Fonda” is the third-person singular present of the Italian verb fondare, meaning “to create” or “to establish.” The name reflects the essence of the product: the introduction of a new piece of furniture design.
