This red leather and wood chair displays a contemporary look marked by an 80s spirit, with a black and red contrast that emphasizes its lines. Its wide and deep red leather seat offers measured comfort for sitting around a dining table or in an office. The wood interacts with brushed aluminum in a sober composition, while the unique design of the legs asserts its style. Placed near a desk, it holds a notebook, a lamp, and a cup on the adjacent surface.

For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became democratic in the 18th century to turn into an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a design intended to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
