IN THE SADDLE

A lesson in considered design, Meridiani has coaxed two chairs from the same slender frame. The ‘Teresina’ chair’s solid-oak structure can play host to either ‘soft’ (padded) or ‘kuoio’ seats, the latter (pictured) having a saddle-like feel, with a leather canvas bound to the frame to form a suspended seat. From £2,448 (meridiani.it).
