This modern cantilever armchair Revit family features a flat-bar steel profile and dark upholstered cushions modeled on the iconic Brno chair design. Based on the iconic flat-bar Brno design, this seating model features a distinctive continuous C-shaped cantilever frame with integrated armrests. The structural metal ribbon transitions seamlessly from ground runners into upright supports and arm supports, detailed with fitted padded arm covers. Both the seat cushion and upright backrest present crisp, tailored edges with a dark textured finish, establishing a refined contrast against the satin metallic frame. The understated profile retains accurate proportions, making it a faithful representation of the classic architectural armchair.
