The Toro armchair, inspired by the majestic form of a bull

This influence is reflected in the chair’s striking silhouette – the high, unified backrest and armrests resemble the iconic horns and head of this powerful animal. Expertly crafted with a sturdy steel frame and a focus on both form and function, the Toro armchair is a perfect blend of durability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. Whether placed in a home or office setting.

”Lightness and sensibility to silence are my aim. Design is the union of mind and matter. A piece of furniture is created when thinking meets with the material used, as a result of the pondering that takes place in the middle ground between handiwork and the machine”.
