Toro, a symbol of

strength also

in upholstered

furniture

by Liu Jo Living

n a gile and light form is that of Toro,
the new collection of upholstered
Afurniture designed by Simone
Cagnazzo for Liu Jo Living. The Taurean
appearance of the soft backrest provided
the inspiration for the name of these
products which are well suited to be placed
in all contexts, indoor and outdoor.
Like an ancient archetype, the thin
metal frame painted with embossed
powder dyes manages to be durable
without sacrificing the dynamism of
forms that, as in a game, harmoniously
envelops in a warm embrace.
Liu Jo Living's Toro, a symbol of
strength and selflessness, in both the
armchair, three-foot version, and the
sofa is defined by a wide, comfortable
seat and distinctive toroidal backrest. All
elements give a sense of well-being with a
contemporary character.
