Omoi

Overview

A name that points to conversation

The page explains that Omoi reflects the profound thought and relevance of the creation: the armchair is designed for deep and important conversations rather than for pure relaxation.

Armrests as a hallmark

Integrated armrests, which the page calls a hallmark of the designer, give the armchair its singular elegance and character. Decorative stitching and extremely accurate finishes and details are listed for the fabric and leather versions.
