Armchair Lugano

A modern classic, sculpted for today.

Armchair Lugano is a masterclass in balanced design,  a chair that feels at once contemporary and familiar. With its clean architectural lines and subtle references to mid-century design, Lugano delivers presence without excess and comfort without compromise.

Its silhouette is refined yet welcoming, making it the ideal choice for both curated residential settings and thoughtful commercial spaces. Our Lugano Armchair is also availble from stock in a very strong Black fabric.

Tailored Form, Soft Geometry

At its core, Lugano is defined by geometry, softened. The upright backrest rises in a subtle curve, providing support while adding visual interest. Streamlined armrests follow a clean horizontal line, slightly flared for comfort and proportion.

The seat floats just above the ground on subtly tapered legs, giving Lugano a sense of lightness even as it grounds the space. The composition is elegant, restrained, and unmistakably contemporary ,  while still nodding to classic design heritage.

Comfort with a Purposeful Feel

Beyond its visual appeal, Lugano is built to sit beautifully. The generously padded seat and supportive backrest are designed for long-lasting comfort. A layered combination of high-density foam and soft fill ensures structure with just the right amount of give, perfect for reading, conversation, or quiet retreat.

The proportions are carefully measured to suit both upright posture and relaxed lounging. Whether placed in a living room, office, or hospitality setting, Lugano supports the body while enhancing the room.

Upholstery That Elevates

Lugano is upholstered in our hand-selected range of house fabrics, chosen for their elegance, texture, and durability. From crisp twills and wool blends to velvets and performance bouclés, each material brings its own tone and tactile richness to the chair’s form.

For bespoke applications, clients can select their own fabric (COM) or work with our atelier for guidance in sourcing. Lugano’s clean design is the perfect canvas for either subtle neutrals or statement-making upholstery. Even if you care to adjust the design to make it suit your plans feel free to contact us.

Refined Versatility Across Spaces

Armchair Lugano integrates seamlessly into a wide range of interiors:

• Modern apartments and urban residences

• Creative studios and architectural offices

• Hotel rooms, lounges, or guest seating areas

• Open-plan living spaces or curated corner arrangements

Its design balances visual lightness with solid construction, allowing it to stand alone or work in pairs — always with confidence and elegance.
