Ali says
"The Caruzzo armchair by Leolux is the most comfortable slim, high-backed chair to relax in, with the added benefits of being able to recline and swivel to suit your ideal position. You can chill with a glass of wine, or enjoy reading a book, as you could spend hours sitting in it due to the supportiveness of the back.
It is not a bulky chair. It is like a modern-day take on the traditional wing-back armchair, but it's also a timeless piece that in 15 or 20 years still won’t look out of place in any modern home. It is available in various fabrics and soft leathers, with a combination of colours on front and back, choice of stitching colours, and a selection of frame finishes - so a very versatile piece"
Product Launch 2017
The Caruzzo is particularly special to us at Beaufort, since its launch was held in our Chelsea Harbour showroom in 2017, conducted by its designer Frans Schrofer.

New Beaufort London showroom 2018
Leolux CEO Sebastian Sanders and Export Director Rene Nieuwendijk joined us a year later when the Beaufort London showroom moved into ‘the Domes’ of the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. We have had various iterations of this product on display both in Moira and in London since then, in a variety of colours, and indeed we have one in each showroom right now.
