Story
Project references
The four linked project pages place the armchair at One Sydney Harbour, in a Tel Aviv penthouse, in a Shanghai apartment at Poly Opus One and on a Sanlorenzo SL102A yacht. In Sydney it is paired with the Groundpiece sofa, in Tel Aviv with a Lifesteel sofa and Tessa armchairs, and in Shanghai with a Camelot sofa. The Sydney apartment was furnished by the interior designer Van Hebblewhite, and the text says all of its furniture was designed by Antonio Citterio.
