Price comparison
You should buy it if…
- You want executive presence for a director's office
- You prefer a leather-and-mesh hybrid over full mesh
Better skip it if…
- You live somewhere warm and prioritize ventilation (get the Contessa II instead)
- You want the best value for money in Okamura
Look at instead: Okamura Contessa II, Vitra ID Soft
