Pressa Lounge Chair

The Pressa Lounge Chair is a sculptural wire lounge chair with an unmistakable mid-century silhouette. Its wide steel shell is formed from a fine welded grid that flares outward into a broad, diamond-like shape, floating above a slim rod base. A leather seat cushion adds comfort and a touch of contrast, while the open grid keeps the chair visually light from every angle.

The Pressa is as much a design statement as a seat, ideal for lobbies, lounges and waiting areas where you want a recognizable, gallery-quality look. Choose polished stainless steel for a bright, luxurious finish or black powder-coated steel for a graphic, modern feel, and specify the cushion in leather or fabric.
