Baxter
Houston Armchair
Comfortable and eclectic, the Houston armchair designed by Paola Navone for Baxter is the result of the creative impulse of a design that is both versatile and multifaceted. The armchair's simple, elegant contours are made unmistakable by an innovative design that combines materials as diverse as the brushed ash wood of the base, the polished cast aluminium shell, and the soft leather that covers the seat and back cushions. The armchair’s distinguishing feature is its contrast between rigidity and softness, between the support of the shell and the soft padding that creates the effect of an enveloping cot in which to experience moments of comfort and togetherness.

Baxter
Launched in Italy on January 1990, Baxter is the combination of experience and passion, a sense for business, a desire not to follow the rules, and the spirit and feeling evoked by the Made in Italy philosophy. Describing Baxter as “the story of encounters, ideas, but above all of people”, founders Luigi Bestetti and his nephew Paolo Bestetti began their journey towards the contemporary by pursuing "the freest expressiveness”.
