The modern Armadillo armchair, whose name literally means armadillo, draws inspiration from this fascinating creature. It combines its natural resilience and protection with the elegance and sophistication characteristic of luxury design.

What makes the Armadillo designer armchair stand out

The Armadillo armchair stands out not only for its unique, nature-inspired design, but also for its perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality. But what exactly makes the executive chair as unique as an armadillo?

• Selection of the finest quality materials

One of the key features that set the Armadillo armchair apart is its upholstery made from the finest Italian leather. The leather plays a crucial role in creating the luxurious character of the furniture. The selection of materials is a process meticulously overseen by Altek Italia Design. The company works exclusively with certified suppliers who guarantee the highest standards of quality and environmental protection.

The leather used in Armadillo is not just an aesthetic addition. It is also a key element that ensures durability and comfort for many years. Attention to detail and precise hand-finishing make every piece of the Italian armchair a unique work of art. The upholstery feels soft to the touch, yet remains durable, providing comfort even during long hours of work.

• Sturdy construction

This armchair resembles an armadillo both in form and function. Just as the armadillo protects its soft body with a sturdy shell, the Armadillo armchair offers the user protection thanks to its solid wood and metal construction. The ergonomic design ensures comfort and durability, making it an ideal choice for professional office spaces. The robust frame made of aluminum and steel, finished with beech wood, becomes the “spine” of this modern executive chair, perfectly suited to the demanding conditions of office work.

Telos – a philosophical approach to design

In furniture design, especially in the luxury segment, what matters most is not only craftsmanship but also the philosophy behind each piece. Altek Italia Design draws inspiration from the ancient concept of telos—the ultimate purpose. Their mission goes beyond simply creating furniture; they aim to evoke emotions and craft experiences for those who use their pieces. The Armadillo armchair is the result of a collaboration between the designer’s imagination and the technical mastery of Italian artisans.

Armadillo was designed to evoke positive emotions—pleasure, elegance, joy, and relaxation. Its form, inspired by nature, is both subtle and bold, offering users not only physical comfort but also aesthetic satisfaction. Every detail of this armchair—from the materials and shape to the meticulously selected finishes—reflects the pursuit of perfection that is fundamental to the philosophy of Altek Italia Design.

Italian brand Altek Italia Design – finishing and customization

Altek Italia Design offers its clients the possibility of fully personalizing their armchair, allowing it to be tailored to individual needs and aesthetic preferences.

The gold, available in several options—polished, satin, and champagne rose—gives the Armadillo a unique look, blending modern design with classic luxury. Additionally, Altek Italia Design offers the option to embellish the armchair with Swarovski® crystal buttons, adding an extra level of sophistication.
