Know before you buy
The chair was designed by the studio GamFratesi, who drew inspiration from the organic, protective form of a bat's wings. This shell-like structure is intended to create a cozy, embracing seating experience.
The high back version provides significantly more head and neck support, making it better suited for extended periods of lounging or reading. It creates a more enclosed, private feel compared to the lower-profile versions.
Yes, the chair is highly customizable. You can choose from six different upholstery groups—ranging from fabrics to leathers—and select between Antique Brass, Black Matt, or Brass Semi Matt for the conic base.
The conic base is engineered for stability and provides a solid foundation for the shell. However, depending on your flooring, you may want to use felt glides to protect hardwood or delicate surfaces.
Care instructions depend entirely on the specific fabric or leather group you select. We recommend checking the maintenance guidelines provided for your chosen material to ensure proper cleaning and longevity.
