The Porta Volta low chair marks a new chapter of collaboration between the historic Italian designer furniture brand Molteni&C and a renowned international architectural firm, long-term partners of the Molteni Group. Resulting from unparalleled attention to detail and exceptional materials, this luxury designer chair is a sophisticated addition to any room.
The aim was a chair with an armrest that is comfortable, welcoming and commodious: "Like a room to sit down in - rather than just sitting down on something."
This low chair is the ideal height for a low level lounge dining table, or for placing next to a sofa or armchair for comfortable conversation. It has a deep upholstered seat and a solid wood back. The floating backrest extends around the perimeter of the seat in a U-shape, reaching forward to create the armrests, and rests on 3 intersecting wooden U-frames with a special curved bent "finger joint" detail at their rounded corners.
The legs and the support for the back are angled slightly outwards, giving a sense of stability and generosity while adding extra comfort. Available in high-quality solid American walnut, or solid ash stained in eucalyptus, black oak, sunrise oak or graphite oak. The thick padded seat, carefully rendered for the utmost comfort, is available in a wide range of fabrics and leathers as well as a Mohair velvet, an exclusive fabric collection of 4 custom-made colours.
A standout feature of Porta Volta is the option of a padded backrest, a rectangular cushion that attaches onto the wooden beam, also available in a range of fabrics and leathers, so the chair can be customised to suit a multitude of interior concepts.
The low Porta Volta chair is pictured here with the Mateo lounge table, and there is also a slightly higher Porta Volta dining chair which can be seen in the related products.
