Zanotta | Yori-Kiri

From the reclining mechanism to the rotation mechanism, every detail of the Yori-Kiri armchair is a hymn to relaxation, translated into a soft and playful design

It has a playful character enclosed in generous padding. The Yori-Kiri armchair is a true ode to comfort, accentuated by the combination with the practical pouf. The curvilinear metal base, in addition to providing stability, discreetly integrates the rotation mechanism that guarantees maximum freedom of movement. A dynamism also accompanied by the reclining mechanism integrated into the seat, which supports movement for an intuitive and natural experience.
