The Kedo X-1 Carbon Fiber Chair Flows With Beauty and Elegance

The Kedo X-1 Carbon Fiber Chair comes from Italy and is made from real carbon fiber -- so it's not just a title. The structure was inspired by an aircraft, giving it that contemporary aerodynamic aesthetic. There's the support of Nomex material which gives it durability and stability. The addition of high quality leather and the head pillow which can be adjusted adds a level of comfort other chairs may not provide.

Like anything sleek, cool and modern, the Kedo X-1 Carbon Fiber Chair comes at a hefty price of $17,600. As always, comfort doesn't come cheap, so start saving up!
