Designed by the designer duo Draga & Aurel for Baxter, the Gemma chair impresses with its balance between visual lightness and comfort. Its metal structure highlights a backrest and seat generously padded and dressed in leather, creating an elegant contrast between fine lines and rounded volumes. With its contemporary design and high-end materials, the Gemma chair embodies all the know-how of Baxter. This used chair has visible usage marks. The leather upholstery has several superficial scratches, traces of friction and a stain on the seat. The armrests also have marks related to use. The metal structure shows some scratches and traces of friction, visible in the photographs. These defects remain essentially aesthetic and do not affect the stability, comfort or quality of the second-hand Gemma chair.
Founded in 2007 in the city of Como, Italy, Draga & Aurel is a multidisciplinary design studio working along the spectrum of furniture, textiles and interior design. Draga Obradovic began her career in the fashion industry, working first in London and Milan as a textile designer before finally settling in Como. Aurel K. Basedow graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan with a degree in Fine Art, having trained as a carpenter and cabinetmaker.Thanks to their friendly methods, combined with an artist's approach to materials and composition, Draga & Aurel are widely recognised for their clever reinvention of bespoke vintage design pieces. The Salone del Mobile 2009 introduced the duo to the world stage, and partnerships with Italian leather manufacturer Baxter, wallpaper brand Wall&Deco and leading American fashion retailer Anthropologie have taken the duo's field beyond the reinvention of singular vintage pieces.
