or Call to Order

The Sunset Chair by Christophe Pillet is a swivel design with an invit­ing curva­ture and visual buoy­ancy. The round seat and back, made of beech wood, appear to float atop each other but are grounded by a stain­less steel base. Beyond the brushed stain­less steel finish, the base is also avail­able with a matte lacquered finish in white, mud, or black. Multi-density polyurethane foam forms the seat and back then is fixed with uphol­stery in a selec­tion of fabrics and leathers from the collection. 

Sunset has obtained the Green­guard Gold certi­fi­ca­tion: a stan­dard that ensures maximum guar­an­tees for emis­sion control in prod­ucts designed with the utmost atten­tion to health and well-being.
