Histoire
Personal space through enclosure
Doshi Levien developed Lepal as a sculptural place of retreat. The high curved back and layered interior create enclosure without turning the chair into a closed compartment, supporting both upright sitting and a more relaxed posture.
Contrast as the organizing idea
Arper describes Lepal through dualities: hard shell and soft seating, sturdy support and visual lightness, geometric structure and a cushioned interior. The adhesive-free assembly and separable components extend that contrast into the construction, pairing a substantial form with a system intended to come apart.
