Product/Collection Name: Ricco

About This Product: Through a meticulous and scientific reduction process, we’ve created a chair that
redefines simplicity. Ricco, a chair born from a single swoosh, is not only visually and
physically lightweight but also a remarkable engineering feat.

The seat and back of Ricco are crafted from a bespoke fabric, combining boucle and nylon
monofilament yarns expertly woven together to create a self-supporting, tensioned mesh
with a soft, inviting touch. This fusion of technology and luxury is knitted solely for
Allermuir, resulting in a mesh that is anything but mesh.

When users recline in a conventional chair, they feel the motion of their body moving
backward and the back of their legs moving upwards. This gives unwanted lift and creates
an unbalanced motion. To address this challenge, we developed Pivot-tec®, a unique engineering solution that
identifies three key pivot points for an integrated, weight-activated, and synchronized
recline. Pivot-tec is not just integrated into the chair’s frame, but it is the chair’s frame.
Pivot-tec® integrates the seat height adjustment and upright back lock to offer
enhanced functionality — with no compromise to Ricco's overall design.

Less components:
The visually light design of Ricco highlights that fewer components mean less
manufacturing, assembly, disassembly, and recycling at the end of life. This reduction
in complexity helps to minimize the overall material burden, making Ricco a more
sustainable choice.
The Pivot-tec technology in Ricco eliminates the need for conventional mechanisms that
house the traditional functions of a chair. With carbon emissions of 75.6 kg CO2e from
cradle to gate (based on product model RIC115), Ricco’s reduction in componentry
helps it perform exceptionally well from a sustainability perspective.

Less waste:
The seat and back of Ricco use a bespoke, technically knitted material that is knitted to
size, creating a waste-free method of production.
