The proportions of the MŪ192 chair allude to the mid-century designs of Italian masters such as Gae Aulenti, Vico Magistretti and Tobia Scarpa, who all explored the concept of the low-slung occasional chair. The simple detailing of the rounded back– and armrests take their cue from the MŪ61 lounge chair, while the low frame creates a modest appearance.
