Materials & Construction
Solid Ashwood Enveloping Frame
Giselle’s defining structure is a finely crafted solid ashwood frame that wraps around the upholstered seat and back in a continuous arc. The sculptural timber profile forms the legs, integrated armrests, and outer backrest, creating warmth, support, and a distinctive visual identity.
