These chairs exemplify contemporary italian design at its most restrained, where comfort, precision, and architectural clarity are brought into quiet balance.

the masai armchair is defined by its compact, embracing shell, upholstered in smooth black leather that subtly softens the chair’s clean geometry. The gently curved backrest and integrated armrests create a sense of enclosure without heaviness, while the swivel base in aluminium introduces lightness and functional elegance. The contrast between the tactile leather and the cool metallic structure underscores the design’s modern character, making the chair equally suited to refined residential interiors or high-end professional spaces.

understated yet confident, the masai chairs reflect a design philosophy rooted in longevity, usability, and visual calm a timeless interpretation of early 21st century italian seating design.
