The Potocco armchairs from Velis collection
Velis is an extensive seating collection designed to meet the diverse needs of everyday living. It in-cludes dining seating—available as a chair and armchair—lounge armchair, sofa, pouf, bench, and stool. The Velis collection thoughtfully explores and resolves the relationship between upholstery and structure: legs and seat are joined by a visible ash or Canaletto walnut frame, which enriches the de-sign with its refined presence.
