A special edition

The page presents the edition by its weave. The weft straps all run along the long side of the bench so that its profile is not broken, while the warp carries a sequence of warm and cool hues that the page draws from the world of the leather collection itself.

The 90th anniversary plaque

The page says the edition carries a metal plaque on the inner side of the bench; the sheet describes it as a gunmetal-finish plaque commemorating the 90th anniversary, placed on the inner side of a leg.
