The woven seat is finished in a textile band or vegetable tanned leather, which is luxuriously soft and will patinate with exposure to direct light. With its spare and refined aesthetic the chair KARNAK is a signature piece suitable for diverse environments. Its frame is fitted with a steel profile for additional stability. KARNAK perfectly complements all tables in the e15 collection.
