Story
A seat that seems to float
The page describes how the seat flows on from the backrest and is fastened to the armrests, so that it seems to hang in mid-air. It is a double layer of thick leather with light padding that the eye barely notices.

Detail worked to the millimetre
Proportions calibrated to the millimetre, a counterpoint of straight and curved lines and vertical frame elements softened by a curved section are the details the page picks out as the result of meticulous attention.
