This page pairs the Richmond modern living room, known for leather, nubuck, ebony and maple with inlays in mother of pearl, gold and brass, with three current pieces of similar character. They come from Cantori, Dall'Agnese and Francesco Pasi, and the Richmond photographs follow below.

Capitonné and leaf on the George Armchair

The George Armchair by Cantori carries Richmond's taste for tailored upholstery and precious detail. Its back is capitonné, starting from behind the curve of the backrest, and its die-cast aluminium feet are polished and decorated by hand in silver, gold or champagne leaf. At H 78 x W 121 x D 96 cm it is a wide chair, with a removable seat cushion.

A sofa whose backrests stay in place

The Raggio Sofa by Dall'Agnese keeps its shape through a simple device: sand pockets inside the high-density foam backrests hold them in position. The seat is three pieces of expanded polyurethane foam in differentiated densities with a velvet coating. In the fabric version the covers are removable. Further pairings are grouped among the high end living room sets.

Lacquer and rosewood on the Ellipse Console

The Ellipse Console with Two Drawers by Francesco Pasi brings back the Richmond mix of lacquer and fine veneer. The structure comes in 100 Gloss or matt lacquer in Bianco, Avorio, Tortora, Grigio Milano or Noce Milano, and the solid wood drawers are veneered in rosewood. It measures H 88 x W 150 x D 41 cm.
