These chairs are defined by their exhilaratingly sculptural c-shaped arms: steam-bent beechwood that sweeps in a single continuous gesture from the top of the armrest all the way to the floor, combining structural armrest, side panel, and front leg into one fluid, unbroken form. It is a feat of bentwood engineering and a masterclass in art deco line.

the dark-stained beechwood frames are complemented by fresh new upholstery in a rich amber-ochre velvet — a palette of extraordinary warmth and contemporary relevance that makes these chairs instantly deployable in today's most considered interiors. The upholstery is new; the frames retain their original dark finish with honest age-consistent patina. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
