the design offers a contrast of different materials
neri&hu long searched for furniture ideal for their hotel projects, and have thus conceived the ‘sedan’ chair for the contract segment — offering a strong character that is comfortable, lightweight and durable. the design is comprised of a solid wood base in natural or black-stained with clear varnish, finished with an upholstered seat that comes in black or white rigid polyurethane foam, or a polyurethane upholstered seat cover in fabric or leather.
the ‘sedan’ chair by neri&huwas presented at the 2015 imm cologne furniture fair.
