This armchair is defined by geometric shapes, logical proportions, and visible constructivist elements. For the composition, the designer integrated the elements in a balanced and harmonious way. This means the chair has a symmetrical layout, with both sides mirroring each other. The chestnut frame is crafted according to a rigorous, linear plan, resulting in clean lines and angular shapes.
The open spaces between the slats give the chair a more open appearance. The metal frame is expertly integrated into the wooden construction, providing strength and stability. Notably, the angled backrest features pointed ears, which add to the unique visual appeal of the piece's design. The back embodies a graphic look thanks to the cross-shaped rubber straps. The upholstery consists of a single padded cushion.
This design is crafted with great attention to detail and excellent woodwork. Characterized by simplicity, clarity and the absence of ornamentation, this piece of furniture is an example of architectural minimalism. This piece has an attribution mark,
