ANNEAU | | Product Name: | Anneau | LLigne Roset had two reasons for christening this armchair, one of Pierre Paulin’s final creations, ''Anneau'': as a homage to the great designer, whose very first armchair, designed in 1954, bore the same name; and because of the very particular shape of its base (Anneau means Ring in French). From whichever angle one views it, the base, rings, seat and back unite to create a piece of great elegance, a harmonious symphony of curving lines which each find echo in parallel or inverted symmetry. Whilst remaining loyal to his design vocabulary, Pierre Paulin has readjusted, remodelled and now brings us an armchair which is at once sculptural and functional, flexible and dynamic, sensual and futuristic.
Construction: structure in tubular steel 20mm, (3/4") finished in satin black lacquer. Base in cast aluminum finished in satin black epoxy for guaranteed durability, weighted with a steel plate. Circular felt glider.
Comfort: the comfort springs from the flexibility of the frame of the seat and black in steel, reinforced with criss-cross elastic webbing on the seat, and on the back by the flexibility of the cover. Seat in high resilience polyurethane foam. Fabric forms part of structure of back. Lumbar cushion filled with duck down.
Fully removable covers, held in place by zippers and velcro strips. |
