A taller seat on the same structure

The page says the seat height of the dining little armchair is 6 cm above that of the lounge little armchair, while the metal structure in Black-Nickel is kept, with front legs that incline and open slightly sideways below a rigid saddle-hide shell that flares a little at the top.

Four new saddle-hide colours

According to the page, four of the shell colours are new additions, and the shell embraces a soft padded seat with refined tailoring profiles.
