zig zag springs (coils) Explanation: Claire ought to get credit for this answer, really! In any case, when looking at the link Rachel provided it's tempting to focus on the coil springs attached to the outer frame, but if you search photos of molla greca you'll see that what they're talking about is the S-curve portion that stretches from side to side. Zig zag springs appears to be the name in English - the only references I found to "Greek" were on Italian sites. HTH, Amy |
