About the Item
The Most Popular MEMPHIS Chair!!!
FIRST is an iconic and sculptural creation conceived by Michele De Lucchi. The designer seems to be paying homage to Alexander Calder in the lightness and mobility of the forms, its true distinctive features. Produced in a small series, FIRST reinterprets the perfect combination of industry and crafts, in true Memphis style. It stands out for the blue adjustable back and the two black spheres that act as armrests.
Design with lacquered wood elements, painted metal frame.
