Two metal legs cross in a soft X in the design of the PETER armchair.
The profile is like that of an elegant deck chair. The large seat and back in woven cowhide generate a sense of great lightness, accentuating the outdoor look that brings a breath of fresh vacation air to interiors. Great attention to detail can be seen at the point where the structure meets the weave. For those in search of exceptional comfort, there is a version with light padding on the seat and back, with a removable fabric or leather cover.
