Its high comfort, quality of material and workmanship and its iconic shape have made the chair a classic of modern furniture history. The shell in black ash, the deep black leather and the carefully chosen details such as aluminium parts in pitch black give the chair an elegant and exquisite look. Two different sizes, classic and new, cater for different body heights, the classic version catering for more average height persons, the new version perfect for the taller person.
