Its chromed tubular metal frame, with its fine, airy lines, interacts with a generous seat and a slightly inclined backrest, upholstered in black faux leather with a subtle patina.

The delicately suspended armrests add a sculptural touch reminiscent of the great classics of European design, without being confined to them. While it recalls the famous Gispen 1407 model, this armchair asserts its own identity, freer, almost intimate. It is undoubtedly a design piece.

Both comfortable and visually light, it integrates equally well into a contemporary interior or a more eclectic decor. A piece of character, where the rigor of the lines meets a discreet elegance. We fell in love with it.

It is in beautiful condition. The chrome is perfect, and there are no snags or stains on the faux leather. The springs are visible under the seat (see photo), but this does not detract from its comfort or appearance.
