 Poly Wins the Red Dot Design Award and the Good Design AwardThe Poly chair, the newest addition to Bonaldo's partnership with the eclectic designer Karim Rashid, has not only met with great commercial success since its presentation in 2007, but is also appreciated by some of the most exacting design professionals.This has been confirmed by both the Chicago Athenaeum and the Design Zentrum in Essen, Germany, which have respectively awarded it the Good Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award - two well-known and much appreciated international awards that guarantee the excellence of a product's quality and design. Poly - as in "polycarbonate", the material from which the chair is entirely made - combines the maximum level of comfort for the seat and a perfect degree of inclination for the chair back.

It comes in a variety of colours and finishes: transparent, semi-transparent pink, semi-transparent lime, black and white shiny versions and, from 2008, in the transparent orange and smoked versions.n more www.bon...
