A revisit for the 90th year

The page says the Vanity Fair XC revisits the Vanity Fair armchair at the request of the company, which asked Roberto Lazzeroni to adjust its proportions. The sheet words the aim as adapting the proportions to today's lifestyles, giving a version respectful of the original but even more comfortable and welcoming.

The pouf

The page adds that the Vanity Fair XC pouf completes the collection. Its curved, organic lines are inspired by the armchair and, in the page's words, reinterpret the typical hallmarks of the Art Deco style. It can also come with an internal storage compartment.
