Baffo armchair by Gianni Pareschi and Ezio Didoni for Dam (Design Associati Mila

About the Item

Baffo, a tube that runs and bends, holding a leather basin suspended a foot from the ground. The Baffo armchair is the result of the union between the industrial processing of the mass-produced structure and the leather of the seat belonging to the artisan culture, created by hand as a unique piece. The contrasting seams are also handmade and find continuity of design in the line of the structure. Supporting structure in tubular metal with galvanic polished chrome treatment and thick leather seat.
