Milan interprets Chesterfield seating through distinctive cup-shaped arm fronts decorated with small leather-covered spheres. These details draw attention to the ends of the sofa, while the smooth lower band keeps the centre of the front comparatively quiet.
Design, proportions and details
The standard depth is 95 cm, making it important to compare Milan’s dimensions directly with the shallower standard Chesterfield range. Its three width options retain the same arm treatment, so the choice of size changes the balance between the seat and decorative ends.
The capitonné is formed by hand over the padded structure. Raised wooden feet add another visible element beneath the smooth base, and their finish can be considered with the arm details rather than treated as an incidental part of the design.
Milan’s smooth lower front lets the unusual arm decoration remain prominent. Compare the arm shape and raised feet together when choosing a covering, rather than judging the sofa only from a cropped view of the tufted back.
