Sculptural SeatingAlegre Design
Bearing the timeless look of classic
modernism, Gnosi provides a clean and
consistent appearance in any setting:
classroom to cafeteria, auditorium
to library, corporate training room to
collaborative workspace. Gnosi’s flowing
lines and continuous curves were
conceived by Marcelo Alegre of Alegre
Design in Valencia, Spain. His inspiration
for the design was the Danish modern
sculptural fountain by Russell Secrest
in the heart of Chicago’s Loop District.
Alegre was fascinated by the variety of
shapes, the continuous lines, the flowing
and organic geometry. The designer
sought to create a shell chair with one
stroke of the pen, mimicking the sense
of continuity and simplicity that the
fountain conveyed, and Gnosi was born.
