Palatine Armchair

Overview

The Palatine Armchair is by Christophe Delcourt. Palatine was inspired by Italy, its history and culture and its classic and contemporary architecture, and pays homage to the way light catches on architectural features such as a building facade. Large cushions make up the seat, armrests and backrest, and bold piping traces the design and crisscrosses it, highlighting the details.

Construction

Upholstery is leather or fabric. The seat is filled with tri-density polyurethane foam 37-35-25 kg/m³, and the backrest and armrests with polyurethane foam of 21 kg/m³ density. The structure is made of solid fir, pine plywood and particle board, and suspension comes from extra-wide high-resilience elastic straps. The base is solid beech in a black-stained finish.

Italian architecture and the play of light

Palatine draws on Italy, its history and culture, and on both classic and contemporary architecture. The collection is an homage to how light catches on different architectural features, like the facade of a building.

Large cushions outlined by piping

The large cushions that make up the seat, armrests and backrest exude comfort and softness. Bold piping traces the design and crisscrosses it, highlighting the details. Christophe Delcourt designed the Palatine armchair for Roche Bobois.
