Later the armchair was called and became known as the "Sheriff's chair" because of its typical sheriff's straps and belts. The leather cushion supported by leather straps and draped over the sculptural wooden frame has a casual aesthetic that has become a trademark of Brazilian design. The seat of the armchair and its pouf is in natural black leather. The chair and its pouf are branded Isa. Pouf size: Height 42 cm depth and width 63 cm.
