Overview

Story
Balloon-back heritage
The chair nods to 17th century English wingback and balloon back archetypes, rethought and updated for the 21st century. A bold, sculptural profile carries its recognisable silhouette.
Concealed strength
A robust steel frame and a foam shell keep the form lasting, while precision-cut foam layers and a pocket-sprung seat cushion give ergonomic support without compromising the fluid lines.
