Description
The Giselle Lounge Armchair by Cattelan Italia is the lounge expression of the Giselle family, designed by Maurizio Manzoni. Its low, wide proportions reinterpret the collection’s signature enveloping ashwood arc at a relaxed lounge scale, creating an inviting armchair for living rooms, reading corners, hospitality lounges, and refined interiors. The generously upholstered seat and floating backrest bring visual lightness to its substantial 86 cm-wide form. This Category B Fabrics version is available in 79 woven fabric finishes, with four ashwood frame finishes to choose from.
Key Features
- Floating Backrest Design: The generously upholstered backrest appears to hover against the ashwood frame, giving Giselle Lounge a distinctive sense of lightness and visual balance.
- Low Lounge Proportions: With a 40 cm seat height, 86 cm width, and 93 cm depth, Giselle Lounge is designed for relaxed, extended seating in living and lounge environments.
- Enveloping Solid Ashwood Frame: The continuous curved frame forms the legs, sides, and armrests in one sculptural profile around the generous upholstered volumes.
- Four Ashwood Frame Finishes: Choose from Open Pore Matt Black Ashwood, Natural Ashwood, Canaletto Walnut Stained Ashwood, or Burned Oak Stained Ashwood.
- Category B Fabric Upholstery: Seat and back upholstered in a choice of 79 Category B woven fabrics.

- Designer Piece: Designed by Maurizio Manzoni for Cattelan Italia, with every curve serving a structural and aesthetic purpose.
