HALL

by Roberto

Menghi

Hall armchair – capsule collection Shanghai 07 category Leather “Top”, Marenco sofa, Match small table

We are at the end of the ‘50s: an interesting series of armchairs and

sofas, designed by Roberto Menghi, called Hall, joins arflex collection.

In these years the design tends not to be only for “élite”. The birth of

other magazines in the wake of Domus, Triennale, the specialized

exhibitions manage to raise wider layers of distributors and audience.

The armchair Hall receives in 1959 the honourable mention for

Compasso d’Oro.
