Palena Chair
Some pieces define a collection. This one defines the studio.
The Palena Chair bears the atelier’s name for a reason. It is the most complete expression of everything PALENA stands for, the elevation of the everyday into the architectural, the transformation of a simple act of sitting into an experience of considered luxury.
Its towering backrest rises with the authority of a classical column, tapering into a disciplined silhouette that commands the dining space before a single guest is seated. The frame is finished in high-polished obsidian lacquer, a surface of deep visual weight that anchors the piece without heaviness. Hand-polished bronze accents mark the structural crown at the top of the backrest and the bespoke sabots at each leg, introducing warmth and golden resonance against the darkness of the finish.
Beneath the precisely tailored upholstery in warm, natural fabric lies a premium cushioning system engineered for sustained comfort, ensuring that a chair of such dramatic verticality gives as generously as it takes. This is a piece designed to be the first thing noticed when entering a room, and the last thing forgotten.
