Description

Introducing the iconic “Contempo” chairs, designed by the renowned Percival Lafer in 1977. These striking pieces boast a robust metal seat structure, elegantly upholstered in beige chenille. The legs are crafted in hardwood, finished with sleek chrome feet for a modern touch.

Every aspect of these chairs has been restored—the metal is expertly plated, the wood beautifully refinished, and the upholstery replaced with new fabric that enhances both style and comfort. The popular Contempo line included stylish armchairs and tables, all thoughtfully designed for the export market. Best of all, this line is 100% dismountable, making it as practical as it is stylish.
