ODEI is a complete range of versatile visitor chairs that are elegant, comfortable and sturdy. It offers multiple versions and options for visitor, meeting, conference or training use in office spaces or collective environments. "ODEI", which means cloud in Basque, takes its name from the soft and original shape of its shell. Its ergonomic shape has been designed to fit the user's back for long-lasting comfort. Its extremely sturdy elliptical base also makes it original.
