Supported on four stilt legs, the Sam Son armchair features a softly suspended seat shell between a giant, horseshoe-shaped back. Made from two different rotational mouldings, the armchair combines a rigid plastic for its base and a more elastic polymer for the upper part. The exaggerated size of the armrest and backrest provides comfort and support and creates a protective space for sitting. Sam Son is suitable for both indoors and outdoors.
