Developed as a successor to the Melrose Limited Edition day chair the Melrose Scorpion is the lightest titanium chair we have ever built.
A 16” frame with the upholstery, forks and castors weighs only 3.9kg. Incorporating an under frame to keep it strong and flex free the new frame directs all your energy into motion with an effortless silky smooth ride. Lightweight fork pivots with alloy casters and lighter close weave ballistic upholstery complete the package.
Pair it with the carbon fibre Topolino wheels (upcharge) and you have an incredibly light ride without any of the problems usually associated with carbon fibre frames.
(Note) Because of its exclusivity, there are no trial chairs available.
