    Bonaparte Armchair Specifications

    ClassiCon Catalogue 

     

Bonaparte is one of the seldom cases in which the luxurious comfort of an upholstered chair has been successfully united with a tubulär steel construction. The result communicates both ease and convenience. Actually conceived as a piece for drawing rooms, Eileen Gray found Bonaparte so pleasant that she used it for decades as her desk chair in her Paris home at Rue Bonaparte. With a seating height just bit lower than a chair, the Bonaparte lounge chair can also be used at tables to enjoy a long breakfast or to sit and write.
