A set of eight armchairs characterized by a careful combination of cognac-colored upholstery and a lightweight chrome-plated steel frame. The design features a high backrest with a slightly trapezoidal profile, running along a central vertical seam that extends toward wide, upholstered, and slightly flared arms. The generously padded seat reinforces the set’s comfortable and enveloping character. The hallmark of the upholstery is its volume, which contrasts with the slender tubular legs, which provide visual lightness and end in small casters, a functional feature that makes it easy to move the pieces around.
