The Solo is a highly flexible lounge chair that transforms into a chaise longue with a single movement.

Material:
Powder-coated steel tubing / Naturally grained, thick nappa leather, lightly pigmented, aniline dyed through
A little leather lesson: "Not all leather is created equal!"...
Please do not compare this leather with leather that has been artificially grained. Artificially grained leather is made by pressing the lower layers of the animal hide (split leather) through heated steel rollers. The rollers have a surface designed to mimic the natural grain of leather, creating an artificial grain (embossing) on the originally smooth leather through pressure and heat.
This artificially grained leather is very often used in leather furniture sold at so-called bargain prices, producer prices, direct purchase prices, etc., on Amazon and similar platforms (often made in China). These pieces of furniture are often advertised as "genuine leather," which is technically correct. However, this does not guarantee high quality; it is by no means a seal of quality, but simply indicates that it is not synthetic leather.
This type of leather is also characterized by relatively high wear and tear; with normal use, the grain disappears after a while. Furthermore, it feels cold and often quite rubbery due to the heavy application of dye. The difference in quality is also reflected in the price; it costs only about a third of the price of high-quality leather at tanneries, as it is essentially considered reject or third-rate leather in the conventional sense.
Color:
Deep black
Note:
The photos are overexposed to show the pristine condition in detail! This makes the colors appear generally lighter. The shadow areas and those not directly illuminated by the camera light best represent the true colors. Any gloss or grayish or milky areas in the photos are also due to the lighting and/or reflections. The surfaces have a satin to semi-gloss finish.
Dimensions:
approx. W: 82cm H: 94cm D: 95-150cm Seat height: 38cm
Condition:
The Solo is in technically and visually flawless, like-new condition. It is in excellent condition and shows only very minor signs of wear – the typical slight creases in the leather that develop on reclining chairs after a short time due to their design. The high-quality frame also looks like new and shows virtually no signs of wear. The headrest is beautifully soft and voluminous, and the upholstery is flawless.
You will immediately notice the difference compared to other offers – especially due to the signs of wear present in those. Currently, certainly the best available on the market.
Perfect for the design enthusiast who doesn't want to make unnecessary compromises regarding condition and wants to avoid unpleasant surprises.
