Each chair features a chromed tubular steel frame in a continuous cantilever form, providing both visual lightness and flexible seating comfort. The curved solid wood armrests display a warm natural tone with a beautiful aged patina that contrasts harmoniously with the polished chrome structure. Both seats have been newly upholstered in a high-quality woven fabric in subtle grey tones, ensuring durability and everyday comfort while preserving the authentic modernist spirit of the design.
