Esse Chair
The Pianca Esse Chair by Philippe Tabet traces a gentle S-shaped curve through its upholstered seat and back.
This armless member of the Esse family keeps the dining silhouette open, with a molded polyurethane shell supported on slender legs. Wood or metal leg options and a choice of upholstery give the compact form different visual expressions.
