Story

Minimalism with comfort

For West End, Piero Lissoni chose clean, simple lines and rounded corners and kept ergonomics in view. The result joins elegant minimalism with absolute comfort in an upholstered armchair.

A seat that returns

Counterweights act as an automatic retraction system, bringing the seat back to its starting position quietly and discreetly. A steel base anchors the armchair to the floor.
