The seats feature the model's characteristic sinuous and enveloping lines, with a crisscrossed metal base and a soft, dynamic profile. They were reupholstered a few years ago with a Burberry-style checked fabric, which lends a bold, vintage character while maintaining the elegance of the original design. The armchairs are overall in good aesthetic and structural condition, with comfortable padding and well-stretched fabric. Ideal for modern, mid-century, or eclectic spaces, they are perfect as conversation pieces or design accents. These rare and sought-after pieces are particularly decorative.
