Esse Armchair
The Pianca Esse Armchair by Philippe Tabet extends the family’s curved upholstered shell into a supportive pair of arms.
Its S-shaped profile is offered on exposed legs or a full upholstered base, creating two distinct dining-chair silhouettes. Wood and metal supports, along with fabric or leather coverings, allow the form to range from visually light to more grounded.
