The Krokus armchair shows how the carefree spirit of the 60s and 70s conquered the furniture of the time, with pieces designed for young people with an unconventional lifestyle and a new way of using the home. Its round oval-mouthed base and cylindrical structure create a unique aesthetic that catches every eye.
