Designed by Eugeni Quitllet
An armchair/character, with an organic outline, perhaps anthropomorphous, conceived with leather directly fixed on a fiberglass skeleton. A tribute, to the great Carlo Mollino and to the Danish design of the 50s, led by Starck with impeccable mastery. The frame is the result of a complex and skilful construction: a first outer shell made of Baydur is fixed on a steel core which is then attached on another Baydur shell and on a polyurethane foams layer. The armchair, then, is entirely covered in leather and hand-stitched. The unexpected comfort is given by its perfect ergonomics.

Neoz sofas, bed and day-bed emphasize the formal charateristics of the collection they belong to, by building a sort of living nest marked by the hem-stitched tissue whiteness, like past laundry, and the cushions’ softness. Large wheels, though, suggest it as an only termporary luxe.
An exercise in style, refinement and essentiality, the Megara sofa comes with suede, fabric and leather covers and features a round backrest that smoothly flows into the armrest and creates a refined detail just before meeting the seat: almost a cushion sinking into the backrest. A terminal element, a day-bed and a pouf complete the […]
