Dutch designer and architect Piet Boon’s Kekke Chair is elegant and chic. It reminds one of the famous quilted Chanel Mademoiselle handbags. The Kekke Chair is made out of buttery soft stone-washed leather and comes in five different colors (including the black and brown options pictured here but also Cognac, Off White and Ecru).
The frame of the Kekke Chair is made form black steel and has a black steel handle on the back for portability and mobility. Handsome, study and functional--you could want nothing more from a dining chair.
