The design exemplifies the elegance and functionality typical of the modernist era. Made of curved wood, probably beech, known for its strength and flexibility. The woven texture of the seats and backrests is made of natural rope or plant fiber, giving a rustic and natural touch that combines harmoniously with the wooden frame. The soft curves of the seats and backrests are designed to provide maximum comfort and ergonomic support. The curved armrests, perfectly complement the overall design, providing additional support. The stool/pouff can be used as a footrest for one of the armchairs or as a freestanding seat. The set has been kept in excellent condition, with slight signs of wear consistent with age and use.
