Product Information
Description
Presented at the 9th Triennale of Milan in 1951 – where it won the gold medal - this armchair is an icon of modernity. It was the product of a major technical/material innovation (rubber and springs with nastrocord, brought together) which, turning the traditional way of creating sofas and armchairs on its head, involved the separate manufacture of the parts and their subsequent assembly.Need a second opinion?Our design experts can assist with everything from swatches to sizing to pricing. -

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
