Armadillo 1 Executive Office Chair

Price range: 2.400 € through 5.880 €

The Armadillo 1 is the apex of the executive armchair range, designed to anchor the presidential office or high-stakes boardroom.

Created by Rainer Bachschmid, it merges a distinctively armored silhouette—crafted from die-cast aluminum and molded plywood—with the softness of hand-upholstered Italian leather.

Built for decision-makers, it features a 5-star polished aluminum base and an advanced synchron mechanism.

Whether in a corporate headquarters or a private home-office, the Armadillo 1 delivers an authoritative statement of luxury design and ergonomic precision.

Description

The Definition of Presidential Comfort

Armadillo 1 is not merely a seat; it is an architectural gesture. Drawing inspiration from the protective carapace of its namesake, the chair features a striking external shell that shields a soft, welcoming interior. This duality of strength and comfort makes it the definitive choice for the executive workspace where image and performance are inseparable.

This executive armchair can be the perfect match for your luxury desk.

Italian Craftsmanship & Materiality

The “skeleton” of the Armadillo 1 is engineered from steel and die-cast aluminum, providing a rigid, durable core. This is enveloped by a molded plywood shell, available in finishes that define the room’s character:

  • Veneer Options: Choose Canaletto Walnut, Ebony, or Rosewood for a timeless, warm aesthetic.
  • Lacquer Finishes: Opt for Glossy or Matt Black/White to create a sharp, modern contrast in a meeting room.
  • Leather Upholstery: The interior is clad in Top Quality Genuine Italian Leather, available in a curated palette of colors.
  • Prestige Details: For the ultimate expression of luxury, the aluminum structure can be finished in 24-carat Gold (Polished/Matt/Pink) or Bronze, with the option to add hand-set Swarovski® crystal buttons to the upholstery.

Technical Specifications

Designed for prolonged focus, the Armadillo 1 is equipped with a professional synchron mechanism. This allows the user to adjust the tilt tension and lock the backrest in five distinct positions, ensuring ergonomic support throughout the workday.

Dimensions: W 70cm x D 70cm x H 127-137cm (Seat Height: 45-55cm).
