Handmade to order and part of the Mobília Puro collection.
The São Francisco armchair is designed for comfort, inspired by traditional club chairs and features a distinctive semi-hexagonal shape, with a fabric interior and an outer covering of ‘pony’ leather; the ’pony’ leather results from a cow hide shaved to resemble the texture of horse hair. The final result can be a refined or more textured finish. The process allows for the upholstery to be customised for a tailored solution, all hide approved by the client prior to being completed.
The ‘pony’ outer covering can be substituted for a traditional leather finish. The chair can also be fully upholstered in fabric with contrasting textures. The choice of materials creates endless possibilities that are nearly impossible to replicate, making each piece unique. Stainless steel base adds shine and lightness, contrasting with the chair’s robustness. A testament to the craftsmanship of the artisans in São Paulo.
