Designed by Lucci and Orlandini and produced by Lamm, Elitra receives the Good Design Award 2009 by the Museum of Architecture and Design of the Chicago Athenaeum.
The evaluation criteria considered by the American jury were: innovation, frame, materials, functionality and usefulness.
Elitra is an innovative office armchair thanks to an active system of elastic nylon strips which replace traditional padding. This allows the perfect adaptation of the various parts of the body to the chair. Moreover, a special system of hinges and slide blocks allows synchronised adjustment of seat and backrest, simply following the movements of the user.
