Each chair is composed of a steel frame made from a series of vertical rods, forming a flared base and continuous curved backrest.

The polished steel finish emphasises the linear construction while reflecting surrounding light, giving the chairs a sense of openness. The seating elements have been recently reupholstered in dark grey C&C Milano Fenice velvet, providing a soft, tactile surface that contrasts with the precision of the metal frame.

The curved back integrates arm support, and the overall form is both sculptural and functional. The set offers a consistent material and finish across all four chairs, making it suitable for use as a dining set or grouped seating.

Condition is good. The chairs have been recently reupholstered. There is some visible bruising and marking to the velvet. The steel frames are in very good condition with a well-preserved polished surface.
