Corsetto Armchair

Corsetto by Molteni&C is an armchair designed by Cristián Mohaded, characterized by rounded volumes and a wide, low seat. The name recalls the corset: a leather band starts from the base and rises towards the armrests, visually tightening the padding and defining the profile of the armchair. The full shapes of the seat and backrest emerge from this continuous element, making the design recognizable even when viewed laterally or from behind. The fully padded seat and backrest follow curved lines designed to accommodate the body. Inside, the steel structure of the seat is equipped with elastic belts and cold-foam padding; the backrest integrates structural inserts in rigid polyurethane. The base supports the whole and is equipped with adjustable feet. The lower part is always covered in leather, while the seat and backrest can be chosen with fabric or leather upholstery from the Molteni&C collection. The combinations allow you to emphasize the design of the band with contrasting colors or achieve a more uniform ensemble through close shades. The low and enveloping profile suggests a placement next to the sofa or in a space dedicated to reading, leaving the different sides of the armchair visible.
