1085 dining chair
Made in Italy Designed by Studio Bartoli for Kristalia
Italian made and designed, the 1085 chair places the ageing process at the forefront of its design. Starting off with a clean canvas of natural leather from Presot, an 80 year-old tannery in Italy, the user is encouraged to make their mark on what will eventually become a unique piece of furniture. Both texture and coloration guaranteed to change year by year, Bartoli created this experimental piece with haute couture in mind; a reference to Presot’s history in the fashion business, represented by the bold stitching made deliberately visible across the seat. A tie-rod device ensures the tension across the leather is maintained while a stainless steel frame receives a wooden outer layer for added stability.
