Black Leather Alma Chair by Roberto Barbieri for B&B Italia

Description

Similar to his classic Lia chair for Zanotta, Roberto Barbieri's late 1990s-early 2000s design for the Alma chair is perfect in its simplicity: polished aluminum metal frame, black leather seat and back covering, and versatile enough to be used as a dining, accent, or side chair. Produced by Italian furniture powerhouse brand B&B Italia.
In good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. Marked on underside of seat with designer and manufacturer's names.
21" x 18" x 21"
