Ara borrows its name from a type of bird from South America, a very characteristic parrot that can talk and communicate. This armchair gives its user the privacy that the new forms of communication very often require, it’s the ideal armchair to manage our day to day tasks, like dealing with emails, make conference calls or just enjoy a little privacy and relaxation time that we all well deserve after a long day at work.
