Story
The 24 in the Dezza range
On the product sheet the number 24 names both an armchair and a sofa, while the 12 and the 48 are armchairs only. The 24 armchair is the version drawn under code 5293111, 83 cm wide, 78 cm deep and 73 cm high. Its seat sits on elastic fabric, like the 48 and unlike the 12, whose seat uses elastic belts.
Covers
The page says the Dezza 24 is available in Pelle Frau® leather, in a combination of leather and pony skin, or in fabric. Among the fabrics it names the Redevance printed wool satin, whose graphic pattern was designed by Ponti himself.
