Colonial echoes indoors

Flexform's page presents Mozart as an armchair for interiors that nevertheless carries an outdoor charm and a vague recollection of colonial times. Its structure is light but sturdy, in metal and wood stained in an array of shades.

Reed and padding

The stained structure is contrasted by woven reed, which the page says lends an air of uncommon finesse. Generous padding ensures luxurious comfort: the seat cushion is polyurethane and Dacron, and the seat back cushion can be Dacron or goose down. Practical front casters let the armchair move easily.
