Designed by visionary cabinetmaker André Sornay, this chair exemplifies his innovative approach to knock-down furniture, developed in the late 1950s.

The solid ash frame features signature box jointed legs, reflecting Sornay's distinctive construction method. The seat, upholstered in cream bouclette, contrasts gently with the veneered backrest, resulting in a refined yet understated presence. Balancing geometric precision with tactile comfort, this piece is a testament to Sornay's technical mastery and aesthetic sensitivity.
