OPERA ARMCHAIR
Designed by Studio Giovannoni
Here, the classic Chester is revisited with a dreamlike language through the roundness of the shapes and the fluidity of the lines, while the backrest, unlike the Portofino, maintains the classic capitonnè.

TWILLTWENTY FABRIC
A classic twill. A particularly thick thread/yarn highlights the “z” diagonal motif which makes the fabric more dynamic. The shiny and matt threads enhance the effect of the light on the surface.
TIVANO FABRIC
Tivano is a semi-aniline leather with a hand-buffed finishing and a stone-washed effect. Produced with cattle of european origin, it has a thickness of 1.2-1.4 mm. The size of each skin is about 5 sqm. Due to the technical characteristics of the finish it is not possible to grant high surface resistance to rubbing or light.
Furthermore, the particular processing does not guarantee uniformity of colour between different batches.
BOGARDINE FABRIC
Yarns of different types and thicknesses create a textural weave and confer a slight matelassé effect to the surface.
Soft and consistent to the hand, hardwearing and ideal for heavy duty seating.
CLAY FABRIC
Bringing together both natural beauty and a sense of finesse, this elegant yet casual fabric has a unique structured surface that adds and extra dimension to any interior design scheme.
With a back cloth that gives extra stability, clay is perfect for upholstering furniture.
SAFIRE FABRIC
Safire’s coarse surface structure gives a subtle handwoven appearance that is both unique and dynamic, adding a special and unique dimension to this upholstery fabric.
The thick boucle and chenille yarns contribute to its wooly handle and soft appeal but also gives a vibrant two-tone effect.
