The base is made of a very beautiful and durable wood with four beautiful conical legs.
Above stands out the central body of the dormeuse: we see a long seat that develops horizontally, very soft and elegant. The centerpiece is the backrest, which rises imposingly on the right side, creating a gentle curve at the back of the seat; as it recedes on the left side the backrest becomes lower, creating a comfortable support for the arms. The backrest is made through a special fabric work, which gives it the appearance of a very beautiful shell.
The dormeuse has been entirely reupholstered in a beautiful pearl gray silk satin, simply elegant.
The dormeuse is suitable for elegant areas with chic taste. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no

however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
