The wide, rounded armrests blend harmoniously with the generous seat, creating a sense of elegant and timeless comfort. The slender, slightly tapered dark wood legs end in slanted feet that visually lighten the volume. The overall design expresses Ponti's poetics: apparent lightness, sensual curves, and geometric rigor hidden within perfect proportions. A discreet icon of Italian luxury, suspended between rational modernity and domestic intimacy. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
