The Cuna executive armchair with synchronised movement enters the Porada collection as an elegant solution to complete the design of the working desks in the catalogue. Designed to offer comfort and style, Cuna is enriched by a swivel mechanism, as well as the possibility of adjusting the height of the seat and the degree of resistance of the backrest. The shaped backrest structure is made of solid canaletta walnut and is the armchair’s distinctive element: a curved silhouette that extends elegantly and seamlessly into the armrests, enveloping the back cushion to make Cuna welcoming and visually harmonious. The product’s versatility also translates into a choice of different versions: with a high or low backrest, with or without castors. A product that represents a perfect fusion of design and ergonomics, ideal for work or home office environments.
