Story

Jean-Marie Massaud, 2025

Poliform's technical details give Jean-Marie Massaud as the designer, with the year 2025. The page calls the design cocooning and names Mid-Century aesthetics as its inspiration.

A backrest like a Möbius strip

The standout feature is a sculptural backrest that folds onto itself, like a Möbius strip, and passes into the armrest. The page adds that the same wooden base and couture-inspired upholstery appear in the armchair.
