Radically modern armchair with clean and emphatic lines, characterized not only by the innovation of its design (combining empty spaces and asymmetrical shapes) but also by the contrast of its upholstery (black and yellow).

Paolo Piva trained at the University Institute of Architecture in Venice. Throughout his career, he has gained international recognition for his work for major Italian furniture firms such as B&B Italia, Giovannetti, Dada and Poliform.

Based in Klingnau, located in northern Switzerland near the German border, De Sede has been producing high-end furniture since the 1960s, when it began collaborating with international designers to create premium handmade leather chairs, lounges and sofas. Over the years, De Sede's product offering has expanded to include tables, beds and other furniture.
