The narrative power of D’Antan tells an iconic story, seamlessly transitioning between the intricate details of matter and clean-cut lines. With impressive dimensions and a spacious seat, this armchair is supported by a solid dark ash frame upholstered in dark-brown leather, featuring a generous backrest that widens at the shoulders and a small leather cushion to support the head. The two curved crosspieces at the head and under the leg recesses offer an additional element of comfort, underscored by the footrest in the same finishes. Its light frame makes it easy to fold, facilitating its transport at will. The perfect synthesis of comfort.“A seat should welcome you like an embrace. The D’Antan armchair was designed with this in mind, to welcome moments relaxing by the fire or reading a book on the porch. Its classic and timeless form adheres to a graceful and flowing design.” – Raffaella Mangiarotti
