Arabesque
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.
