Resting atop a recessed base, the corpus of the Montholon design seemingly soars above ground, prompting a lighter sentiment to the voluminous proportions while awakening the senses with inviting curves and the soothing softness of tactile topography.
Many years ago, at its beginning, Lord Yo was simply a polypropylene easy chair with an aluminum structure, now it’s an icon. Recognized and recognizable anywhere and by anyone.
