OverviewThe ISABEL family comprises chair, small armchair and bar stool designed to express the material qualities of cowhide. Lines are clean and essential; the piece is entirely clad in cowhide, including the legs, producing a continuous, enveloping appearance. The small armchair features a seat back that extends into the armrests and opens slightly at the ends to form a delicate fold in the hide, a detail inspired by origami. ISABEL is suited to residential interiors and hospitality projects where refined formal language is required.
