Offered in a new swivel version with and without armrests, Andy is an upholstered dining chair with a solid wooden frame in Canaletta walnut or ash, available in all the finishes of the collection. With a high back and curved frame, Andy’s ergonomic shape makes this chair ideal to be used in a more formal setup of a meeting room or in the livelier and more convivial atmosphere of a living room, around the dining table. The comfortable seat, as well as the upholstery materials available, give a unique character to this chair: a leather cover, for a more sophisticated attire, or fabric, for a softer look. The buttons on the back can match the main cover selected for the back and seat or can be in contrast using different colours and materials.
