Chosen for its deep grain and ethereal texture, the cape lilac Mahogany on our Monaco armchair is a truly special material. A distant cousin to the Alexa chair, Monaco’s shape is derived from ancient Klismos chairs of Greece but also has notes of art deco influence. The slightly flared, hand-carved legs add a touch of elegance and refinement. The curved back is striking from all angles and allows the seat to be nestled nicely under any dining table or desk. Each detail of Monaco is carefully considered. The back is carved by hand for subtle shaping while the basket weave-patterned caning is handwoven in our factories, strand by strand. The linen drop-in seat is easily reupholstered. The result is comfortable without being overly large and perfectly suitable as a desk chair to work from home or dotted around a curved dining table (as it has no trouble with the apron of a desk or table)
