Story
Jean-Marie Massaud, 2011
Poliform's technical details name Jean-Marie Massaud as designer of Ventura, with the year 2011. The page puts the weight on the joint between backrest and armrests as the chair's distinguishing detail.
With or without arms
Both versions share the wood frame, which the page says is chosen to match the upholstery, and the choice of normal double or drawstring stitching.
