Story
An ode to lightness
The page calls the design an ode to lightness, a harmonious contemporary language that sets soft, comfortable, generous cushions against a strong, precise, linear metal base. The datasheet says the base, in a new zinc finish, stands on small feet that recall Van Duysen's most recent furniture designs.
Armrests that work as surfaces
The winged armrests are covered in leather and, as the datasheet puts it, support soft cushions while acting as a useful surface. The page adds the characteristic curved angular module, which gives continuity to the form.
