It was produced by kill international in germany and stands out for its distinctive curved profile and low-slung stance, which give it a relaxed but purposeful character. The frame is made of flat bar chromed steel, slightly patinated. The seat and backrest are made of canvas fabric, to which a loose, leather cushion is attached tightly. This version is upholstered in brown leather, which is still in very good condition, no rips or tears or anything. The leather pillow is suspended with straps and can be adjusted along the canvas backing. A nice detail is that the armrests are wrapped in very nicely patinated cognac leather, adding a tactile element and subtle contrast to the steel frame. They offer just the right amount of grip and warmth to contrast the steel frame. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
