In the shape of a rose, it can be considered a piece of haute couture. The petals, which make up the padding and make the seat cozy, are handmade one by one. The structure is in moulded metal with small pieces of shaped wood. The padding is in polyurethane foam and synthetic wadding.
The legs are turned, brushed and painted aluminium with a transparent kiln-dried finish.
Rose-chair offers a very casual seat. The cover is in velvet in the colors available from the samples.
