The armchairs feature an internal steel and fiberglass frame covered with polyurethane foam, allowing for compact, sculpted forms with a striking architectural presence. The design stands out for its enveloping, organic silhouette, upholstered in a sophisticated deep blue fabric that enhances the continuity of its lines. A distinctive feature of this version is the incorporation of hidden casters, which give the pieces exceptional mobility without sacrificing their solid and robust aesthetic. This combination of comfort and dynamism reflects the evolution of office and lounge furniture in the 1970s toward more human-centered and versatile forms. These are elegant and timeless pieces, ideal for high-level meeting rooms, private studies, or contemporary lounges seeking a touch of classic 20th-century design.
