It is an Arabic-inspired decoration composed of geometrical motifs, symmetrical stars and regular borders. The beautiful mixture of materials generates a fine chromatic palette: black ebony, golden lemongrass, brown walnut, reddish mahogany and white mother-of-pearl.

Their structure is light and original, composed of wooden strips connected by brass rods and rivets which make the chairs easy to fold.
