Grand Repos introduces a new degree of comfort to the world of home furniture: its backrest and seat surface can be moved to different opening angles – from a comfortable sitting position to a relaxed reclined position – by means of a synchronous mechanism hidden in the interior of the upholstery. The armchair can be locked into any desired position.
