Story
A single point of contact
A single point of contact is all it takes for two forms to become an embrace. The wide backrest opens into armrests that wrap the seat firmly while touching it at one point, balancing curved and straight lines.
Tactile upholstery
Ruff is Getlucky's lounge sister, designed for homes as well as hospitality and contract spaces. Its surfaces include the bouclés Orsetto and Trono, the chenilles Yeti and Samoiedo, Zanzibar mohair velvet and Feral plush.
