or Call to Order

Doshi and Levien designed the Almora chair for B&B Italia to offer a relax­ing expe­ri­ence. The back­rest of this chair includes a curved oak wood head­rest with padding inside, extend­ing outwardly. The chair features a well-balanced compo­si­tion of elements, includ­ing leather uphol­stery and a merino wool option for the head­rest. An invis­i­ble mech­a­nism holds together the over­lap­ping struc­tures of the seat, back, and head. The footrest, which can also serve as an ottoman, has a curved wooden uphol­stered seat and rests on a round base.
