The Art Deco style armchairs now on tender are a sublime example of the opulence and architectural geometry of the 1930s, notable for their imposing wrap-around elm wood frames with a glossy finish that enhances their rich natural grain. Its design is defined by a "U" or gondola-shaped silhouette, with wide arms that curve outward in an elegant gesture, resting on solid rectangular bases that provide great visual solidity. The contrast is achieved by upholstery in light tones (cream) that follows the curvature of the backrest and seat, accentuating that air of cosmopolitan luxury and refined comfort characteristic of the most exclusive interiors of the period.
