A smaller Crono

Flexform describes this dining-scale armchair as reflecting the lines of the namesake armchair. Its own proportions, lower back and arm supports adapt the woven-back construction to a table chair.

Hand work at the back

Cowhide cord is woven across the back by hand. Beneath the removable seat upholstery, polyurethane foam covers a plywood-and-metal support; thermoplastic pads finish the lower frame.
