The Forcina collection has a feminine, pragmatic character. From the outset, forcina was considered within the context of a cafe or a restaurant, and historically cafe chairs often have a curvilinear form. Perhaps this is influenced by the iconic history of Viennese Cafe furniture or the sweetness of the pastries served.
