Imboh chair by Itlian designer Joe Velluto is a modular furniture unit. the chair has a upholstered base which can be equipped with backrest, table and arm. The Imboh is easily customisable and built with sustainable materials (fabrics and wood). The padding is made of jute, flax, cotton and coconut fibers.
According to the 30th edition of the ‘Forecast Report on the Furniture Sector in Italy’, 2013 will be another difficult year for Italian sector operators, after a tremendous 2012. The growth in international trade and the recession in Italy translate into a contraction in furniture production of 3% at constant prices, resulting from a foreign demand being limited by the performance of Italy’s principal trading partners and of the continuing weakness of domestic consumption (-6%), which was affected by the trends in employment and disposable income and by the prudent attitude of families towards the economic situation.
