Iris family
The Irene chair is bold. It’s definite. It’s refined. And, following the Iris family heme, this solid ash piece has been designed with your absolute comfort in mind. The simple understated lines flow throughout, stripped back to the bare essentials, ensuring aesthetic beauty. However, each line has texture and personality. Each line is thick and bold.
The Iris armchair takes the brave, chunky style of the Iris chair, but increases its overall comfort with the addition of solid armrests. The extra shapes make this chair striking, yet reserved. It’s been handcrafted with the intention of being appreciated without being the focal point of the room. It’s the perfect companion to a room of inspirational pieces.
This is a chair that speaks volumes of the person who owns it.
