The design features a complex structure of continuous lines that defines space architecturally, eliminating the traditional bulk of an armchair to leave only its essential “skeleton.” The design stands out for the arrangement of taut black leather straps (originally Eisengarn fabric was used), which appear to float above the chrome frame. Ergonomics is achieved through the precise angle of these bands, which provide support for the seat, backrest, and armrests, creating a sensation of suspension. It is a revolutionary piece with great visual impact, which evolved from an avant-garde experiment into an icon of modern luxury. It is ideal for living rooms with high ceilings, minimalist reception areas, or studios looking to incorporate one of the most influential works of the 20th century.
