Violin is a modern dining chair with an old soul. It seeks to distill with the fewest number of ingredients possible the archetypal Scandi dining chair, without losing the sense of poetry for which designers, GamFratesi, are known. All fine lines and delicate flourishes, its name references the two parallel lines that extend from the backrest to a horizontal bar below the seat, evoking the two strings on a violin. This simple gesture also creates a half backrest which allows the sitter to easily twist around to chat with the person next to them.

    Description

    A new, improved, updated version of the iconic A.B.C armchair produced in 1996. With a metal base, and padding in expanded polyurethane, covered in leather or fabric available from the Flexform collection. The metal armrest of the A.B.C design has been removed to create a softer appearance. The chair features a sophisticated mechanism that slides the seat forward to maximise comfort. The low seat that rests on the ground gives it a contemporary flair, along with the enveloping cushions. The Osservatorio Permanente del Design has selected A.B.C.D. for the ADI Design Index 2015, the prestigious nomination for the Compasso d’Oro Award 2016.

    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.
