Extraordinary design and extraordinary comfort; revised, with the choice and combination of two unusual fabrics, which enhances the design of the armchairs, which are already very eccentric. Nino Zoncada's way of designing is characterized by a constant search for new materials and new construction techniques.

The armchairs have a beech wood structure, expertly shaped and joined; structure that is completely covered with a combination of two very exciting fabrics. The first fabric, the one that covers the backrest and armrests, is a very particular fabric with long braids that go down; the second fabric, the one that covers the seat, is a leopard print fabric. Comfortable and enveloping, the armchairs softly welcome the people who sit in them. Under the seat there are four wooden legs with a round section and very slender, which in the lower part have a small brass glass as a finishing touch.

During his career Zoncada designed the interiors of most of the ships built in Italy, transatlantic liners such as Giulio Cesare, Augustus, Andrea Doria, Cristoforo Colombo, Michelangelo, Eugenio C. and many others, who brought the style of Italian design from Monfalcone into world.
