José Pons Pedro, the founder of Point, added the Alga armchair to the first collections in the 1920s. He made the curves of the armrests very rigid so they would not break over time and added the openwork in the backrest to make it look lighter. The chair is woven entirely in the air: it has no structure from the seat upwards. The weave that rises from the seat carries the arms and the top of the back, so only highly skilled craftspeople can make it. Point has made it in wicker, in rattan core for more than 70 years and now in Shintotex® on an aluminium frame. Shintotex® is a strong, recyclable fibre developed by Point. Designer Alfonso Gallego led the latest update. He calls Alga “a piece in the romantic Mediterranean style with its own identity”. Two round dining tables complete the collection.
Alfonso Gallego (Alicante, 1964) is a designer, decorator and interior designer who has worked with Point for more than two decades. His long career in furniture design and his projects around the world have made him an expert in functional pieces and spaces.
Under “Cushion fabric” on this page you choose the seat cushion version. You can order without a cushion or choose foam only (no fabric), your own fabric (COM) or a fabric group from G1 to G4. The groups hold 56 fabrics in total: G1 (4 fabrics), G2 (29), G3 (7) and G4 (16). The group sets the price. After you choose the group, write the fabric code from the fabric chart below in the order note. The first price you see is the cheapest option, without a cushion. For your own fabric you need 0.6 m. Under “Waterproof liner” you choose “Without waterproof liner” or “With waterproof liner”. The first price shown is without the liner. The weave comes in 03 Toasted and 36 Ivory. Pick the colour from the weave colour chart below and write it in the order note. Under “Protective cover” you choose “Without protective cover” or “With protective cover”. The first price shown is without the cover. The cover is beige polyester with an acrylic lacquer and it is waterproof.
You find every piece of the collection in Alga and the full Point range in Outdoor furniture.
