When I started with this chair, I wanted to get the same "invisible" sense that Ferragamo achieved with his sandal.  I often work with spaces that are visually tight and cluttered.  This pass through arm paired with the tall and slender leg offer a much smaller visual scale than most 30 x 30 chairs.
The dramatic slope and pitch of the back was inspired by one of Salvatore Ferragamo's most iconic shoe designs, the invisible sandal.
This arm panel is a great place to add a little something extra with a contrasting leather or fabric.
Leather gimp and double spaced nail gives designers and high style individuals an opportunity to create something unique to you!
Solid White Maple is finished in an Aniline dye similar to process used to tan leathers.  This gives you complete transparency of grain so you can see all details in this unique wood species.
Ottoman is sloped towards the front to give your knees a soft break to prevent hyper extending.  If you want your legs slightly elevated to promote blood flow, you simply push the ottoman further away from the chair or turn it around backwards.
