Description
Product Info
Bow Dining Chair intrigues and enchants with a seat that appears to float in space. Its curved, inviting lines create the feeling of an Asian roof tile when many chairs are put together. Highly crafted precision gives the design an air of lightness, with tapered legs and curvilinear stretchers composing its soft, elegant profile. The backrest and seat follow an embracing, upholstered contour that eases the body into relaxation. Finely sculpted solid oak defines the chairs material warmth, and underlines its contemporary sophistication.
