Featuring a slender frame in fine wood, tapered legs, and sculpted armrests, they display an airy, dynamic line. The high backrest is composed of a series of horizontal wooden slats, lending rhythm and transparency to the seat. The seats, meanwhile, are finely crafted from hand-woven rattan using the Vienna straw technique, ensuring comfort and a natural tactile texture. The overall design strikes a perfect balance between geometric precision and the organic warmth of the materials.
