Story
Stripped of the padding
The page says the Prince "Cord" Indoor is stripped of the padding that characterised the original version of 2012, and reveals the skeleton of the shell. It describes the design as inspired by the American modernism of the Fifties, underlined by the Pewter-coloured aluminium base made through a complex die-casting technique.

Round-profiled ropes
The sartorial attention to detail is highlighted, according to the page, in the round-profiled ropes, which have a unique seam running along the entire length of the covering leather. The cord comes in four shades, and the armchair can be accompanied by a footstool.
