LEGGERO

LEGGERO

Created to encapsulate “everyday fine quality,” the spacious chair LEGGERO showcases the beauty of Hokkaido-grown Japanese Ash in both the appearance of its wood grain and its smooth touch & feel. LEGGERO, meaning “light” in Italian, provides a rich, voluminous look while having a lightweight frame that is easy to maneuver. An easily interchangeable seat covering makes maintenance a breeze and allows for effortless reupholstery whenever you desire a change in atmosphere.

What makes this collection of chairs stand out is the simple design with a detailed grain expression brought about by the combination of straight and curved lines in the wood. The design makes full use of the characteristics of our carefully selected Japanese Ash, which can be seen and felt in each piece.

LEGGERO Side Chair (S) has a smaller frame than the collection’s Armchair and Side Chair.
