Description
Overview
The Bun Armchair is a 2024 design by Federica Biasi for Wittmann, a lounge chair on a 360° swivel base. It measures W 98 x D 83 x H 73 cm, with a seat 65 cm wide, 63 cm deep and 45 cm high.
Construction
The cover is fixed with flat piping in fabric or leather, with the flat piping the same as the cover material. The base is a black metal base that is not visible. A pocket spring core and a multi-layered polymousse structure sit in the base.
Story
The bao bun
The chair's upholstered shape drew inspiration from the distinctive shape of the Asian bao bun, from which it takes its name. Biasi draws creative energy from her travels.
Two piped cords
Two wide piped edging cords run upward from the base in parallel, then part at the edge of the seat to frame the back and the seat independently. The backrest cups the seat and is generously rounded.
