The “Lounge Chair ELSA” was born from the fusion of a dual-layer shell, precise molding technology, and Italian craftsmanship in leather upholstery. The organically shaped saddle leather-style shell is actually covered in soft leather. Its finely crafted edges create a light and resilient feel, offering a delightful contrast between its appearance and comfort. Gently enveloping the body and aging beautifully over time, this chair is like a companion that enriches your life with comfort and elegance.
