Yak is a modern armchair matching streamlined design to a more fluid and enveloping one. Equipped with a natural ash frame, it features slanted legs and a full-grain leather outer shell. Its elegant shapes outline a series of modern armchairs pursuing ambiences from distant lands and textural contrasts. The combination of materials, the craftsmanship and all the elements of the structure are perfectly balanced; the outcome is a modern designer armchair with simple luxury, versatile and utterly contemporary.
