DETAIL
Feminine and romantic, Oleandra is a mid-century inspired armless slipper chair, with a buttoned curved back and a rounded, oval seat. Gently splayed tapered legs sporting a saber, cabriole-like design, complete the retro chic look. The upholstery comes in fabric, velvet and leather, finding its best match in jewel toned colours like mother of pearl grey, deep blues, teal, ivory, vibrant purple or a rich maroon. This is a glamorous accent piece for living rooms, bedrooms or commercial interiors such as boutique-hotel lobbies orhaute couture ateliers. With its highly decorative allure and single line button tufting, it reminds of glamorous 1950s boudoir chairs.
Designed for Bodema by Giuseppe Manzoni, Oleandra boasts a tailored appearance and stylish look. With its sophisticated allure and fine detailing it brings immediate luxury and a lush atmosphere to any space. Its gorgeous silhouette is the perfect combination between clean curvy lines, those of the seat and wrapping back, and those of the curving solid wood legs. Last but not least, the exquisite upholstery is complete with a piping that runs along the seat cushion and wrapping backrest.
