Where the CAB stretched leather panels over a tubular steel skeleton, the Lira wraps the entire chair in a single continuous skin: saddle leather stitched directly over a metal and foam structure, encasing legs, seat, and backrest in one unbroken surface. The result dissolves the boundary between upholstery and frame in a way that only the finest Italian leather craft allows.\u003cbr\u003eThe rounded backrest carries a distinctive relief pattern — curved panels divided by topstitched seams — that gives the chair its sculptural quality without relying on ornament. A small arch cut into the lower back lightens the mass and recalls the instrument whose name the chair takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set can be split.
