The String Armchair by Livoni draws on over 125 years of Italian woodworking heritage to create an Italian design armchair unlike anything else in a room. Handcrafted in Italy by a house founded in 1895, this accent chair distills generations of artisanal knowledge into a single, quietly arresting silhouette.

A solid wood frame defines the geometry — clean, assured, unhurried in its proportions. Then the rope takes over. Interwoven by hand across the backrest in a taut geometric pattern, it introduces a textural counterpoint that shifts with the light: shadow and surface, tension and give. The rope flexes naturally with body movement, distributing weight evenly while breathing in a way upholstery never can. It is a chair that rewards a second look and a longer sit.

At 56.5 × 54.5 × 76.0 cm, the String Armchair is deliberately compact — scaled for a reading corner, a home office, or as a pair flanking a console in a living room. Its restrained footprint allows it to anchor smaller compositions without overwhelming them. Frame finishes and rope colours are available on request, making it adaptable to schemes ranging from warm oak and natural cord to darker, more dramatic palettes.

Frequently asked questions

Can the frame finish and rope colour be specified to match an existing interior scheme?
Yes. Livoni offers a selection of wood finishes and rope colourways. Contact us with your project details and we can confirm available options and lead times.

Does the rope backrest require cushions for comfortable seating?
The hand-woven rope is designed to provide ergonomic support on its own, flexing with the body and distributing weight across the full backrest surface. No additional cushioning is needed, though a seat pad can be added for personal preference.
