Made of molded plywood, the chair is characterized by its elegant, curved form, which offers both visual lightness and stability. The seat and backrest are ergonomically designed to ensure exceptional comfort, while the curved plywood legs harmoniously complete the construction.

Visible signs of wear, such as minor scratches and marks, underscore the authenticity of this original piece and add to its character.
