Missana launches Athens, a bar stool by renowned Architect Afroditi Krassa that takes inspiration from the classical Greek Architecture

The Athens bar stool designed by the renowned London-based architect
Afroditi Krassa for Spanish company Missana, takes inspiration from the fluted details and repetition of vertical lines of the classical Greek architecture.

Afroditi Krassa has designed a bar stool that combines elegance and function. The main feature of Athens is the base, formed of three metal poles, making a nod to the sculptural fluted details of a classical column.

The stool has a swivel mechanism incorporated in the base and is the first stool in the MISSANA range with this characteristic as well as a unique product in the market.

The soft and enveloping padded seat is enriched by a beautiful fluted stitching detail and can be upholstered in a range of unique fabrics and leathers, making of Athens the perfect fit for every interior.

For the pictures, Athens has been upholstered in an eye-catchinggreen fabric by Gabriel and in a combination of two shades of velvet. Two different personalities that highlight its classic inspiration and chameleonic appearance.
