Ferrari F430 Scuderia Carbon Fiber Office Chair

Converted from a real Ferrari F430 Scuderia 16M this is a black and red leather office chair with contrast stitching (red on the black leather, black on the red leather), and has a new radical shape and design. Although it looks strange to have the cut out area around your kidneys and the opening between your knees, this ergonomic change from Ferrari has proven to be one of their most comfortable seats yet! The entire rear shell and side trim is clear coated real carbon fiber. The headrest has an embossed prancing horse logo on it and just below it an opening for shoulder racing belts.

The seat base is an average width with a deep and comfortable back, and this sculpted design fits any modern office. The seatback tilt can be adjusted with a few turns of the carbon fiber knob on the side of the seat. Your order also includes a custom base color of your choice and integrated arm rests.
