Description
The RAKU collection of upholstered seats – which includes an armchair + footstool, small sofa, chair and bench – has a simple, contemporary look. The seat and back are defined by simple, rounded volumes. The equally simple leg is formed of a vertical bar that looks like it is resting against the outer edge of the chair back. The upholstered bench also has a wooden armrest that divides it with ways, creating a functional surface for resting things on. Available with leather and fabric upholstery, RAKU is perfect for adding a touch of comfort to the lounge and bedroom.
