Award-winning design demonstrates how intelligent engineering can achieve more with less.
As workplace expectations continue to evolve, seating must deliver exceptional comfort, adaptability and performance without unnecessary complexity. Modern workplaces demand seating that combines comfort, adaptability and efficiency. Designed by Studio Ballendat, Ricco embodies this approach through a refined and purposeful design language.
Developed through a meticulous process of reduction, Ricco strips away excess to focus on the essential. Its lightweight form and clean silhouette are underpinned by an innovative mechanism that responds naturally to the user’s movements.
Born from a single sweeping gesture, Ricco is both visually elegant and technically sophisticated.
Engineered around just three pivot points, the chair flexes and moves intuitively to provide continuous ergonomic support, adapting seamlessly to a wide range of users and postures. This carefully considered approach results in a product that delivers outstanding comfort and functionality while maintaining a remarkably lightweight and minimalist appearance.
The international recognition Ricco has received reflects the success of this design philosophy. By combining advanced engineering with a disciplined approach to simplicity, the chair demonstrates that exceptional user experience and refined aesthetics can coexist, establishing a new benchmark for contemporary workplace seating.
