The slender silhouette of the cantilever chairs, the robust leather, and the exposed tubular steel frame lend them an elegant presence – ideal for a large dining table or a sophisticated conference area.

This set of six chairs is in exceptionally well-maintained condition. The rich black saddle leather is impeccably preserved, showing only slight, age-appropriate signs of wear that give the leather a subtle and authentic patina. The chrome-plated tubular steel frames are in first-class condition with a beautiful shine and minimal signs of use. It is particularly noteworthy that all six chairs bear the original Matteo Grassi embossing in the leather.

The design thrives on the captivating contrast between the substantial saddle leather and the delicate-looking tubular steel. The seat and backrest are defined by the taut leather, while the leather-covered armrests complement the minimalist construction. The slightly reclined backrest and the springy action of the cantilever frame ensure comfortable seating. Especially when grouped together, the six chairs create a striking graphic effect through the repetition of clean chrome lines and black leather surfaces.
