Story

One accent piece

The page presents the armchair as the Augusto series reduced to a single, bold accent piece. It describes the design as blending a classic silhouette with a contemporary aesthetic, and as a place to take a breath, relax in comfort and reflect in elegant surroundings.

Piping and upholstery

According to the page, Augusto can be covered in many options from Molteni&C, set off by piping in matching leather or grosgrain fabric.
