Description
The high-back cantilever Armchair 401 offers maximum comfort.
Both armrests are cut from the same piece of form-bent birch lamella, ensuring an even warping over time
The frame contains a sprung seat, while the back is slightly tilted to provide support for the head and neck. The minimalist wings adjoining the headrest contribute to the distinctive design. Since wood changes over time, the armrests are formed from a single piece that is then split in half, ensuring that as the chair ages, it remains perfectly balanced.
