The Design
About The Doberman Chair Cathedra
Consilium inspirationis cane a Doberman. Excogitator machinator mahoganiam elegit ut materiam ob similem colorem ad canem realem Doberman. Praeterea, Cathedra Doberman habet dorsum suspensum et sedem longam magnitudinis, utrumque corio nigro obsitum. Consilium est hominibus dare locum quietum et commodam ad relaxandum et laborandum. Sicut canis Doberman, Cathedra Doberman suam singularem dignitatem et pacem ostendit.

- The design is to give people a quiet and comfortable place to relax and work. In order to design a chair for the third space, not only the café or the rest room, but also home and workplace.

The Doberman Chair has many details and the use of high quality materials: black leather and solid wood guarantee a contemporary and timeless design. Also, the designer chose the mahogany as material due to the similar color to the real Doberman dog.
