Rose Chair in Red Velvet

The Rose Chair, designed by Masanori Umeda for Edra, is among the most immediately recognisable pieces of late-twentieth-century avant-garde furniture design -- a chair built entirely around the form of an opening flower.

The retained sewn Edra label provides direct maker authentication.
