Overview
A contemporary classic, Husk Dining Chair – Metal Base by Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia adapts the profile of its namesake armchair. Made of multilayer polymer Hirek®, the body conveys a sense of both mental and physical comfort with its distinct capitonné-inspired style. The cushions, in fabric or leather and fixed with press studs, are distinguished by their quilting. The swivel base in die-cast aluminum comes in three finish options.
