Also introduced in 1950, the CH25 Lounge Chair stands out for its minimalist, refined lines, making it a collector's favorite. Its intricate weaving technique uses over 400 meters of natural paper cord, meticulously woven by hand in a crisscross pattern. Even for a skilled craftsman, the process takes at least 10 hours to complete.
