The design is characterized by its minimal, rigorous silhouette, with the leather stretched and folded into the wooden frame, creating a sculptural yet functional seating experience. The chairs present a warm patina throughout, with visible signs of age and use that enhance their vintage character. Leather shows visible patina, discoloration, and wear, with some darker marks and surface aging consistent with use. Very minor wear to wood surfaces and edges. Structurally excellent. Leather worn and with stains and signs of time. A strong and collectible example of Italian design, ideal for a dining setting or as statement seating.
