Incisa
The leather upholstery is reminiscent of a horse saddle, while the hand-stitched seams represent the finest traditional Italian craftsmanship, tracing the back and sides with soft, enveloping, comfortable curves. A design classic for the home or office desk, Incisa is the swivel chair designed in 1992 by Vico Magistretti. Just as beautiful from behind, it comes in two versions: with a static four-spoke base and a revolving five-spoke base with swiveling castors.
