The design is distinguished by a sculptural and deconstructed aesthetic, where the solid pine frame remains visible in the joints and legs, creating a textural contrast with the softness of the upholstery. The "Viola d'Amore" is renowned for its enveloping comfort: the seat, backrest, and armrest cushions are generously padded, designed to adapt to the body's posture, reflecting De Martini's exploration of the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern comfort.

The armchairs are upholstered in a natural beige cotton/linen fabric, which enhances the piece's organic and relaxed feel. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
