A lighter reading of Archibald

The sheet says the Archibald Slim Dining Chair reinterprets the iconic Archibald language in a more linear and versatile form, light and essential, with a padded, enveloping backrest that gives comfort and support while keeping a clean, contemporary look.

Back support

The page adds that, despite its simplicity, the chair gives proper lumbar support up to below the shoulder blades.
