ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The 290 series of chairs followed on from the CH25 designs which used a wooden frame and woven Rope for the seating and back. The special profile of the forelegs is probably the chair s most characteristic feature. Their unusual shape make them carry most of the user s weight and serve as a stable support for the armrests at the same time. Another interesting detail is the hind legs, which flush with the rail.
The broad armrests add to the comfort of the chair and make it easy to get up from, even with its low seating and its reclining back. The moderate dimensions make it fit easily into interiors where space is a factor. The simple choice of materials gives it a neutral appearance that makes it blend in well in almost any decoration
