Arabella

Overview

Arabella is a large swivel armchair designed by Massimo Scolari for Giorgetti in 2010. It is an out-and-out asymmetric sculpture of extraordinary comfort, with a right or a left armrest.

Construction

The seat frame is multi-layer poplar wood. The backrest has an internal frame of harmonic steel springs, and expanded polyurethane of several densities under a polyester fibre layer forms the padding. The base is a wood fibre panel covered in turned metal varnished in a bronze finish, with a steel mechanism and ball bearing for the rotation. The upholstery is completely removable, in fabric or leather.

An asymmetric shape that envelops

Arabella is an asymmetric sculpture of extraordinary comfort: a large swivel armchair that suggests an innovative way to envelop the body in an amazing range of positions. The armchair turns on its base.

Springs behind the upholstery

Inside the backrest, harmonic steel springs give the support its elasticity. A stretch fabric joins the parts of the back upholstery, and an elastic string holds the buttons so the whole cover can be taken off.
