Overview
Metropolitan Armchair, designed by Jeffrey Bernett for B&B Italia, is characterized by its uninterrupted flow from the arm to the seat. This armchair features gentle curves and engaging cants that create stunning sculptural forms from all angles. Available compositions include low, mid, high, and wingback versions with optional headrests and ottomans.
All versions of the Metropolitan feature a central column swivel support that culminates in four splayed spokes to form the base. The high-back version is also available with a simple flat disc base. The innovative roll-shaped headrest on the high-back version is adjustable through the clever use of magnets.
Pair the Metropolitan armchair with its ideal companion piece, Metropolitan Ottoman.
