An armchair inspired by a saddle.

It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship; to be touched, following the seams. Run your finger along the hand-stitched leather. Artfully rounded curves become more beautiful as the leather ages over time.

The sturdy structure encloses a soft, padded heart. Details like the cotton ribbon for the edges of the removable inner cover reveal a very British elegance.

Sofa designed by the Italian designer/architect Vico Magistretti for Depadova in 1993.
