Concept and Design

The sinuous lines of the Arabesque armchair have the same natural tension as the body of a ballerina. With this project designer Kensaku Oshiro achieves a fluid balance and a flexible grace that stem from complex processes for an end result that exudes pure beauty. Thin cushions layered like flower petals guarantee the exceptional comfort of the seat, at the same time acting as the frame. The result is a compact and clean aesthetic that is both dynamic and vibrant at the same time. In the Arabesque armchair everything is designed to be accommodating. The deliberately low seat and reclined backrest, together with the pouf, are an invitation to sit back and relax.
