I’m always drawn to chairs that feel like they’re doing more than just sitting there — and the Tucroma dining chairs by Guido Faleschini are exactly that kind of piece.

Chloé’s recent creative directors have been Natasha Ramsey and Gabriela Hearst (2020 – 2023). Both women reflect on the cycles of fashion, returning to past styles in ways that explore the richness of the brand’s heritage, as well as the ethics of reuse.
