Customizable Tacchini Babela Armchair by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni

About the Item

Measures: W 56 D 59 H 80 cm H seat 49 cm Internal frame: Birch plywood 15 mm. Padding: differentiated - density polyurethane foam. Base: open-pore lacquered ashwood. Upholstery: fully removable cover. Stackable chair.
