Overview
Elephant is an armchair by Karen Chekerdjian. Two tusks reach outward and four legs stand firmly on the ground, so the chair reads as a comfortable, majestic elephant with a spacious seat that welcomes anyone who trusts it.

The frame uses stained solid ash wood, in two stained finishes (T134 and T122). The final cover is load-bearing leather + leather in hide leather.
Specifications
The reference model, code 0ELPPL084KU01LL, measures 72 W x 90 D x 66 H cm.
Story
Solidity and power
Elephant is an iconic armchair in which bold lines and primitive volumes meet fine woodworking, conveying a sense of solidity and power. The base is turned solid wood, worked and smoothed to the touch.
Longevity
The design follows the ethos of sustainable design, focused on the product's longevity. A luxurious cushion completes the armchair, and Elephant can also be paired with a matching ottoman.
