Story
A Chesterfield diamond pattern
Button upholstery, a traditional technique, produces the characteristic diamond pattern that structures seat and back. Hand quilting and deep-set leather buttons complete the surface.
A delicate frame
The slender steel base pays homage to the Bauhaus. Handcrafted excellence, skilled upholstery and modernity are what the sofa stands for. Lobbies and lounges are the settings it is meant to make a statement in.
