This model reflects the elegance and sculptural clarity of French modernist design, combining comfort, architectural presence and timeless sophistication.

The chair has been professionally reupholstered in a high-end Italian jacquard textile, selected for its warm, natural tones and exceptionally soft touch. The rich texture enhances the inviting character of the piece, creating a subtle play of depth and light while adding warmth and refinement to the overall aesthetic.

Its compact yet generous proportions are beautifully balanced by the metal plinth base, giving the chair a floating appearance and a strong architectural foundation. The contrast between the soft upholstered volumes and the structured base creates a harmonious dialogue between comfort and design.

This easy chair pairs perfectly with the “California” sofa, yet also stands confidently as a sculptural accent piece in contemporary, minimalist or eclectic interiors. A true statement of quality and French vintage design from the 1970s.

In very good vintage condition with only minimal traces of use consistent with age.
