AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Color: vivid and saturated red.
• Design: Presents a robust aesthetic, but with flowing lines and curves, typical of outdoor design or informal furniture from the era.
Details of the Structure
Seat and backrest
Both the seat and the backrest are characterized by a series of slats or vertical ribs that run continuously.
This slatted design is not only a stylistic element but also serves a practical function: it allows water to drain quickly, making the chair ideal for outdoor use (garden, terrace).
Legs
The four legs are cylindrical and very thick, giving the chair stability and a sturdy, playful appearance. They are integrated into a single body with the seat.
Profile
The side profile appears ergonomic, with a slight curvature that follows the shape of the body, where the slats of the backrest arch to support the back.
Della Kartell model K1340 Zanusso, rare to find. In summary, it is a functional, durable chair with an unmistakable Pop/Modern style that was very fashionable during its years of production.
