Curve Armchair

Designer Emmanuel Gallina

The Curve armchair replicates the main features of the homonymous collection: soft lines and the centrality of wood. Emmanuel Gallina’s intuition was to lighten structure and padding, stripping them down to their essence, without sacrificing comfort. The curved backrest handle is a visually enticing functional detail, lending the back of the armchair great appeal. Available in different finishes and a wide range of covers, Curve can take on the desired mood—from classic to more modern style.
