Story
Cushions in three parts
The page describes an armchair of extreme softness and comfort, whose voluminous cushioning appears divided into seat, lower back and shoulder rest.
A squircle base
The glossy lacquered shell sits on a central swivel base shaped as a squircle, a geometric shape that Minotti says blends the rigidity of the square with the sinuosity of the circle. The page closes by noting the armchair's decorative appeal and an original colour palette.
