Story
An enveloping shell on a base
Karen is structured around an enveloping shell that rests on its base. A metal loop extends from the floor, follows the movement and returns to anchor itself, which forms a visible tension beneath the volume.
Wood or metal base
The seat is available in a range of bases in wood or metal, and each version keeps the same silhouette. The wood base is solid ash stained satin black; the metal base is a satin black epoxy-lacquered steel tube.
