Designed for residential, hospitality and commercial spaces, the Mena Armchair finds the perfect balance between elegance, comfort and support for all environments.
Luxury and elegance teamed with the highest quality manufacturing and hand-finished upholstery, ensures Mena’s complex design gives you exactly what you want in an armchair: stunning beauty, and everyday comfort and support.

Fully-upholstered, the Mena Armchair exhibits its own powerful, connective design language, with strong lines, sharp geometry, diamond hand-stitched quilting, and stunning chamfered profiled timber arms — with the option of a handy, removable, Metal Ledge.

A variety of materials and finishes are available for the Mena Armchair. Upholstery comes in aniline leather in a range of colours, and a wool/alpaca blend, also available in select colours. Solid timber arms are available in American Oak, American Walnut and a Flat Suede Coated finish.

The optional Micro Ledge comes in stainless steel; polished, a matte bead-blasted finish, and in solid brass with finishes available in satin, bronze or nero.

New technology has merged with hand-craftsmanship to execute the new Mena range; as such, you won’t find any visible fasteners in the Mena collection.
The timber arms are fixed to the upholstered body with powerful, hidden magnetic fasteners.

The Mena Range is available in Leather – Grouse, Resin, Chestnut, Wolf, Mineral, Caribou and Wool – Elated, Young Again, Respected, Secure, Satisfied, Confident.
