The Menu Armchair and Side Chair are a pair of light and comfortable chairs. Both chairs are small, and both versions are so light that one can lift them with two fingers.
A high-level woodwork technique is required to produce this kind of chair, where thin and slender parts are used. The backrest of the Menu side chair and armchair are curved, with much attention paid to the smallest detail. The spacious seat offers exceptional seating comfort.
