Designer: Rodolfo Dordoni

Manufacture year: 2021

Type: Fabric armchair with armrests

Belt is an armchair with armrests, part of the homonymous collection.‎ The distinctive characteristic and inspiration behind the Belt family, designed in the all-fabric or leather versions, is the idea of a belt that draws the profile of the body, encircling it, then breaking off and fastening on the front of the seat.‎ In particular, in the leather version, the strip is sewn onto a piece of bonded leather to lend support and ensure a consistent thickness: it is applied to the covering as a belt is applied to a dress and an ultra-sophisticated crafting process is required to follow the curved shape of the seat and keep the visible seams perfectly straight and even.‎ With its classic shape, the foam body designs a shell-like, enveloping backrest that welcomes and protects.‎ The seat rests on a die-cast aluminium base with a polished Brandy-coloured anti-touch varnished finish, which enhances the armchair and, in its leather version, recalls the metal finishes of exquisite leather bags.‎ The family consists of a sofa, an armchair, a bergère with footstool, a smaller lounge armchair, and a dining little armchair also available with legs in Dark Brown stained Canaletto walnut or lacquered open-pore Black ash.‎
