Cattelan Italia Giselle Chair with Armrests

Cattelan Italia Giselle chairs and armchairs centre on precisely crafted joinery. The armrest forms part of the load-bearing structure in both armchair designs through a complex, refined construction based on wood. The manufacturing precision gives the handhold at the end of each armrest a pleasant tactile quality shaped by the material and ergonomic form. Tapered legs and carefully developed projecting and embracing forms make the Giselle armchair family an expression of skilled craftsmanship. The Giselle wooden dining chair separates the seat from the backrest. The wooden armrest extends around and supports the backrest from behind. The separation between the seat and backrest allows the chair to have a particularly large and comfortable seat cushion. The suspended backrest of the Giselle armchair with armrests has soft upholstery and an ergonomic design with a slight curve that flexibly follows the back. The Giselle Lounge living-room version expresses lightness and technical skill. The low armchair with wooden armrests derives its character from the apparent absence of support beneath the upholstered backrest. Large cushions form the seat and backrest with a natural, unstructured appearance. Giselle is a comfortable, inviting and spacious lounge armchair. Precious wood species combine with soft upholstery in selected colours and textures. The combination makes it easy to coordinate the seating with living-room colours and materials, creating a cohesive and individual interior.
