Construction
The feet are screwed to the frame and are offered in natural beech or a black lacquered finish.
Story
Alessandra in 1995
Moroso dates Alessandra to 1995 and credits Javier Mariscal. The armchair combines an injected foam body, an internal steel frame and feet that are fixed directly to that frame.
Material structure
The screwed feet provide the two stated finish choices, while the flame-retardant polyurethane foam forms the upholstered body around the steel structure.
