The sinuous frame is made of curved laminated wood (birch or bent plywood), with a fluid, organic shape reminiscent of a sled. The seat and backrest are upholstered in soft, dark black fabric, which elegantly contrasts with the warm, natural tone of the wood. The ergonomic, continuous shape creates a single, welcoming surface, seamlessly connecting the backrest, seat, and footrest. The generous curves and cantilevered support convey a lightness and dynamism typical of Bauhaus and modernism. A timeless piece that combines bentwood craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
