exsta Armchair F130

A re-interpretation of the archetypal home armchair. Tall back, royal comfy cushion, and soft arms. Flowing contour lines and division between the centerbody and the arms.

In 3 different leg-types: a raised steel cros, straight steel legs, and wooden pegs for maximum variety in character and atmosphere possibilities.
