The high, slightly inclined backrest features three wavy crosspieces that create a sinuous and decorative rhythm. The enveloping armrests are supported by lateral uprights featuring Buffa's signature perforated teardrop element. The seat is woven from natural straw with a refined diamond pattern. The turned front legs and sabre-shaped rear legs lend stability and dynamism to the structure. The polished, grained cherry wood acquires a beautiful patina over time. When paired, these armchairs create a highly refined symmetrical dialogue, ideal for classic or contemporary living rooms. They are designer pieces that combine understated elegance, comfort, and high-quality post-war Italian craftsmanship. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
