Woodworking and contemporary forms
The Kartell page for P/Wood describes the chair as characterised by woodworking, combining timeless elegance with contemporary forms. Its opening line speaks of brand-new rotating armchairs on wheels as the latest addition to the armchair collection, while the sheet lists the fixed chair together with a swivel version.
