OverviewThe Corsetto armchair by Cristián Mohaded combines containment and softness in a rounded, full-bodied volume. A continuous leather belt rises from the base and wraps to the armrests, tightening the upholstery to create a corseted profile while preserving a soft, enveloping seating surface.
Design and MaterialsThe armchair rests on a rigid, solid base that stabilizes the generous padded shell. The upper structure is padded following ergonomic principles and shaped with curved lines that follow the body. Upholstery can combine fabrics and leathers from the Molteni&C collection to vary appearance and tactile effect.
