Samurai Collection: Rossin’s Samurai collection was designed by Archirivolto Design. The seating series is characterised by a tubular steel structure that seems to embrace the backrest. The light, industrial character of this structure is contrasted by the voluminous, soft upholstery of the curved seat and backrest. Samurai comprises a stackable chair, an armchair, a 2-seater sofa, dining chairs of various shapes, a stool and a coffee table, all with the characteristic shape described above. All elements can be supplied with a smooth upholstery or with an effect fold.
