The modern armchair designed by Anna von Schewen is characterised by a gentle curve that opens into the seating. Smeralda is a modern armchair with a slight retro design, in which the upholstered seat and backrest create a protected space. The steel frame is stark, painted matte anthracite grey, with contrasting elastic cords. Solid and balanced, it’s one of those versatile and functional designer accessories that are perfect for representing different settings.
