​​​​​​​
with this specific chair, Borsani opted for a tripod base, where the two front legs are bound together, instead of the traditional four-legged design. The seat and backrest are made in teak and slightly curved for ergonomic comfort. The frame is made of steel tubes, painted black.
​​​​​​​The chair is in very good condition but displays some signs of use and wear consistent with its age. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
