Story
The armless member
Flexform presents Isabel as a group of chairs, small armchairs and bar stools. Code 020301 is the armless chair, while the sheet gives the wider dining armchair its own code.
Cowhide across the whole chair
The page says the chair is clad entirely in cowhide, including its legs. The enveloping back rises from a compact footprint while the internal specification combines metal, plywood and polyurethane foam.
