Armando Franco adapted the modular concept he developed in his architectural projects to his furniture, designing pieces whose parts were hand-made or turned in advance and then put through an assembly line, also by hand, an elegant solution for his time, even if quite complex by today’s industrial standards.

Franco made the first S2C chair for himself in 1955 and it remained his working chair until his death in 2022. Two long pieces make up the backrest and back legs, joined by a straight pole under the seat and a curved one mid-back. The top of the backrest is joined by a rolled leather cylinder. A single leather piece is secured with straps around the sides of the chair and the cylinder at the top. Like all his pieces, the entire chair is assembled and held together by pressure.
