Biscotti Zenith dining room chair

The Zenith Biscotti chair takes a formal path different from the Nerio and Quiriro. Where these two models proposed cylindrical feet or a flared base padded in the fabric, the Zenith relies on four flat feet, wide, slightly flawed down, which resemble more blades only at classic feet. Covered with the same Biscotti fabric as the rest of the chair, they give the Zenith a much more graphic silhouette, almost sculptural, with these four textile planes that deviate to the ground like the roots of a tree. The folder is low, rounded, with a slight hollow in the center which naturally guides the position of the back. 60 cm wide for 61 cm deep and 81.5 cm high, 11.7 kg, craft manufacture, iron structure. A high-end dining room chair that has found its own way of answering the question of continuity of matter, and which does it with a formal originality that we do not see twice in the same collection.

A design that immediately attracts the look

The four feet of Zenith are his immediate signature. Not cylinders, not fine stems, not vertical straight lines: four rectangular blades slightly flared outwards downstairs, which create a wider ground hold than the seat and give the chair a very particular visual stability. Covered with the same Biscotti fabric as the seat and backrest, these blades participate fully in the textile composition of the chair. Their flat shape, with these slightly rounded angles, creates flat surfaces that capture the light differently from side: the front faces are brighter, the deeper side faces, the transitions between the two creating a set of shadows and discrete reliefs but present. The folder, low and slightly curved, is sufficient for a prolonged meal without ever appearing up or binding. The armrests, 70 cm high, fit in the same rounded logic as the rest of the chair. And the biscott fabric, slightly granular with cream tones and hot sand, covers the set without interruption. From the ground to the upper edge of the folder, the ZENITH is one and the same textile object.

Why choose this model for your interior?

• Flared flat blades feet, unique sculptural silhouette: These padded flat blades in the Biscotti fabric are what distinguishes the Zenith from all other models in the range and the market in general. They create a carved base that has as much interest in looking back than face, and changing profile according to the angle of vision.
• A low and curved folder for a natural posture: The reduced height of the file is a design decision that promotes the freedom of movement at the table. In meals, the back finds its natural support without being forced by a folder too high. At the end of the meal, the position relaxes easily without having to fight against the geometry of the chair.
• The biscotti fabric on the entire chair, including feet: The continuity of material is total, from the top of the file at the ends of the blades to the ground. This visual coherence without break produces a chair that reads as a single volume rather than assembling a structure and a coating.
• 11.7 kg for the lightest chair in the range: This is the lowest weight among the fully padded chairs of this range. At 11.7 kg, the Zenith comes out, returns, repositions with ease that no heavy structure chair can offer.
• 44 × 45 cm seat at 48 cm high: A seat height of 48 cm that accommodates the standard 75-76 cm tables, with the 45 cm of seat depth necessary for a comfortable meal without the legs overflow.

In which room install this chair?

The dining room, naturally, with a preference for tables that also have a carved or graphic base. Around the CLAREMONT table with its dark brown feet, the Zenith Biscotti creates a forms dialog between the flat base of the chair feet and the rectangular frames of the table: two different approaches of the solid base, which answer without copying without copying.. Around a ceramic round table or white marble, the cream-sand tint of the biscotti dialogue directly with the natural tones of the stone, and the flared blades of the base bring a contrast of very legible shape on the plain bottom of the plateau. What works particularly well is to mix the ZENITH with a bar stool of the same range for mixed spaces dining room and open kitchen: the two rooms share the same fabric and the same constructive logic, which creates a natural overall coherence. In a living room, two face-to-face zenith on either side of a coffee table create a very affirmed composition, with these flared blades that deviate to the soil symmetrically.

An ideal choice for an affirmed decoration

The Zenith Biscotti chair is the room of the range that takes the most formal risk, and it is also the one that produces the strongest effect in a space. Its feet in flared flat blades are a constructive solution that we do not see in the current collections, and that is precisely why it draws attention and that it remains memorable after it has been seen. Its biscotti fabric will age well with minimal maintenance. Its internal iron structure guarantees long-term strength that medium or agglomerated structures can not ensure with the same constancy. And its silhouette, with these four flared blades and curved low back, will continue to be relevant in ten years and today because it relies on an original formal logic rather than a seasonal trend. A chair that we choose for the right reasons, and we do not get tired.
