HARRY ARMCHAIRS

HARRY ARMCHAIRS

The Harry armchair, named after Harry Bertoia, one of the great masters of design, is devoted to comfort due to the perfect relationship between the inclination of the backrest and the seat. The most distinctive element, common to all the sofas of the same series are the feet – a small detail capable of granting a light, modern personality to a product with a rather traditional appearance. The cover is available either in fabric or in leather.
