- Padding: moulded foam in arms and back, foam seat, goose-down seat cushion
- Legs: beechwood stained dark walnut
- Finish: a row of leather-covered nails on the back and sides
Specifications
- Baby armchair 5163110: W 67 cm, D 63 cm, H 67 cm (the axes are not labelled on the drawing)
Story
The baby version
The sheet sets it out as its own section, Baby armchair, within the Vanity Fair sheet. The page for the original model explains the Vanity Fair history; this page describes only the small version.
What changes in the build
Where the sheet's full-size armchair has a solid beech frame with hand-tied steel springs, the baby armchair has a frame of poplar and birch plywood. The arms and back take moulded foam, the seat plain foam, and the cushion on it holds goose down.
