Description

- Internal frame upholstery: flexible cold-shaped polyurethane foam and shaped polyurethane, with a polyester-fibre cover
- Legs: steel and solid wood; the oak legs come in several finishes
- Ferrules and spacers: plastic material

Story
A name that points to conversation
The page explains that Omoi reflects the profound thought and relevance of the creation: the armchair is designed for deep and important conversations rather than for pure relaxation.

Armrests as a hallmark
Integrated armrests, which the page calls a hallmark of the designer, give the armchair its singular elegance and character. Decorative stitching and extremely accurate finishes and details are listed for the fabric and leather versions.
