Originally designed in 1955, the Kilta chair has become an icon of office and lounge seating thanks to its innovative contoured shell. These 1970s pieces feature a sculptural and fluid silhouette, upholstered in their original black skai (faux leather), offering a sophisticated look and easy maintenance. The armchairs are supported by a thin yet sturdy tubular metal frame, which lends a light and airy aesthetic while ensuring great stability.

The ergonomic "wraparound" design and the distinctive opening between the backrest and seat make these armchairs not only visually appealing but also exceptionally comfortable. Whether placed in a contemporary living room, a professional studio, or a mid-century office, they add an instant touch of vintage authority.
