Tessa leather armchair

Every constructive detail of the Tessa armchair is a clue to the great complexity that lies behind its seeming simplicity. The kind of simplicity that stems from the ingenuity and hand-craftsmanship inherent to the concept of the product itself.
The structure is made entirely of solid wood.  The traditional joinery requires expert craftsmanship and gently exalts the natural texture and feel of the wood.
The seat and the backrest are in woven paper rush cord, finely hand-crafted, while soft optional cushions held in place by slender straps add a deeper sense of welcome to the Tessa armchair.
Instead, the seat and backrest of the Tessa S.H. armchair are made of cowhide and the posterior of the backrest features sophisticated top stitching that underscores the chair’s refined craftsmanship.
