Design
The TESSA family expresses refined artisanal joinery and turned solid-wood construction. TESSA S.H. preserves the same turned solid-wood frame while adopting cowhide or woven cowhide for the seat and backrest, with precise rear top-stitching that highlights the craftsmanship. Soft optional cushions are available to increase seating comfort for contract or residential projects.
