Story
The still member of the range
Where President and Executive swivel on castors, the Visitor stands on four beech legs. The sheet's functions block names only President and Executive, so no rotation or height adjustment is described for this model.
Capitonné on the inside
The page says the upholstery is Pelle Frau® leather enriched on the inner surface with fine hand-crafted capitonné detailing.
