Biloba represents an evolution of the Ginkgo collection. Originating from the design of the Ginkgo and Ginkgo XL armchairs, Biloba expands the range with a seating piece dedicated to the dining area. It retains the aesthetic language and distinctive features of the collection, reinterpreted in more compact and slender proportions specifically designed for use around a dining table. While maintaining the defining formal characteristics—soft, enveloping lines and a balance between comfort and elegance—Biloba stands out for its more functional configuration, with seat and backrest engineered to provide lasting support during extended moments of conviviality. The structure is crafted from solid Canaletta walnut, while the outer shell is upholstered in leather. The seat cushion and backrest are covered in fabrics from the collection and are fully removable, offering extensive customization and ease of care. The seat padding is constructed with differentiated densities to ensure a high level of comfort, while the backrest is shaped in polyurethane foam. The piping detail can be tone-on-tone with the outer shell or selected from the Zenith collection colors, enhancing the tailored quality and dynamism of the design. The aesthetic is completed on the back of the piece with a distinctive wooden toggle, matching the structure.
