Designed in 2011

Poliform credits the armchair to Jean-Marie Massaud, 2011. Its page speaks of enveloping, comfortable forms and sartorial details, and of a feather padding that gives the armchair a casual look.

Cover versions

Two cover versions are named on the page: a stretched cover and a slipcover. The slipcover has a perimetral edge in grosgrain in the colour of the drawstring stitching, while the other cover can carry normal double stitching. Poliform's captions show a slipcover in Olimpia 11 polvere fabric with a nero grosgrain border, and a removable cover in Nabuk 02 tortora leather.
