Porada’s range of armchairs welcomes Amarantha, a relaxing armchair with an embracing and comfortable seat, whose lines are inspired by the iconic Papasan chair.
The supporting structure is crafted from solid canaletta walnut and embraces a flexible shell in coupled leather, available in all the colours of the collection. The design is completed with a soft cushion featuring a removable cover, anchored to the shell with functional buttons. The ultimate comfort of Amarantha is achieved when combined with the matching ottoman footrest, a versatile combination that adapts to various home spaces, enhancing both its design and functionality.
