Story
Out of the diner
Frame draws inspiration from classic American diners, often characterized by smaller booths with quilted dining sofas. For Simon Legald the heavy, upholstered dining sofa of the diner was the starting point, and Frame is his exploration of a similar product that better caters to modern needs and interiors.
Two elements
The design consists of only two elements, a simple, slightly rounded seat elegantly integrated into a gently angled backrest, which gives a completely clean, simple profile.
