Kristalia - 1085 Edition lounge armchair

The craft knowledge, the time that passes, the beauty of an incomparable project. The 1085 Edition chair by Bartoli Design is inspired by the almost centenary experience of Presot, the only tannery in Italy to still work leather with traditional methods, not by chance linked to some of the most important names of Italian haute couture. But it also draws on nautical knowledge, because it takes up the mechanism of the tie rods to maintain the tension that would naturally be lost over the years and the softening of leather. Finally, it reflects the passing of time, preserving the signs of who made it and who, day after day, uses it. A precious object, which has the charm of a unique piece. 1085 Edition is available in a chair or lounge version, in natural or black leather.
