Contemporary and innovatively designed to provide the utmost comfort, the 560 Back-Wing Chair consists of a solid ashwood structure, with big, bold legs and an ergonomically designed backrest. Providing a wrap-around feel, where the turned-down top of the backrest becomes the armrest, the overall look and feel of the chair is unique and further enhanced due to its elegant finishing touches. Perfectly utilised around a family dining table or within a cafe or hotel environment, it is a striking piece that is sure to captivate and invite you to take a seat.
