Isadora
The Isadora chair is inspired by the
grace of Isadora Duncan, pioneer of contemporary dance. Created by Roberto Lazzeroni, its original design
is shaped by the seamless combination of wood and saddle-leather. The Isadora
chair has a solid wood structure. Nevertheless, it traces a sinuous and agile
profile thanks to the expert work on its thicknesses. The saddle-leather
upholstery totally envelops it and almost appears to fly. Skilful tailored
stitching and cuts give it the appearance of a light dress. The sensation is
airy yet solid and is the result of expert craftsmanship which, by subtraction,
reduces the materials to the bare essentials and exalts their pure beauty. The
Isadora chair project offers a highly modern interpretation of the forms of the
past. Also available in a version with armrests and a Large version, the structure
of Isadora is made from solid ash in a Moka or Wengé stain. The upholstery is
in clean cut Cuoio Saddle Extra leather, refined with protective dye and wax
and underlined by contrast or tone-on-tone stitching.
