Billiani INTRODUCES

MARIMBA

Category: Seating

marimba

For the unprecedented combination of wood and leather, Marimba is a novelty in the Billiani collection. Particularly the shaping of the seat, as well as the back legs, which stretch and tilt slightly to support the shaped leather backrest. A project by Emilio Nanni that has the character of something you might find in a leather goods store, combined with the charm of a hand-crafted object. A felt version is also available.
