The chair combines toile de Jouy upholstery with hand-embroidered detailing on the seat, featuring botanical and decorative motifs. Its lacquered beech wood frame offers reliable support, while brass nail heads create a refined border around the cushioned areas. The embroidered elements add artisanal character to the seating, and the solid wood construction provides enduring stability.
Inspired by Alessandro Michele's ready-to-wear collections for Gucci, this 'Francesina' chair stands out for its use of toile de Jouy upholstery that is decorated with cherry branches, leaves and flowers, and an embroidered tiger head with the numerals '25' on its seat — a process that takes approximately 10 hours to complete. With a lacquered black beech wood frame and brass nail heads outlining the chair's cushion, 'Francesina' is part-furniture, part-artwork and presents a standout centrepiece for any space, courtesy of Michele's Gucci Décor collection.
