Armchair Gabby

Armchair Gabby, a seamless expression of modern softness.

The Gabby Armchair embodies modern sculptural elegance, a piece designed to speak in flowing lines and quiet strength. With its continuous, cocoon-like silhouette and rich upholstered surface, Gabby blurs the line between furniture and form.

Its organic curves and embracing structure offer more than comfort, they create a presence. One that is warm, architectural, and inherently calming.

Form Without Break, Comfort Without Compromise

Armchair Gabby is defined by its uninterrupted shape. The armrests and backrest form one cohesive gesture, wrapping gently around the seat like a soft shell. This visual and tactile continuity creates a feeling of security, of being held, without any sense of bulk.

Though visually light, Gabby offers generous proportions. The seat is deep and softly padded, allowing you to sit upright, recline, or curl up with ease. It’s a chair that feels sculpted for the body and shaped for the room.

Crafted to the Core

Beneath the soft surface lies an expertly constructed foundation. Gabby’s frame is crafted from a combination of durable plywood and solid wood, ensuring long-lasting strength and structural integrity.

The padding is made of multi-density polyurethane foam, firm where it needs to support, soft where comfort matters most. This engineered layering creates a seat that offers both stability and lasting softness over time.

Resting just above the floor on discreet powder-coated metal feet, Gabby appears to float, adding subtle elevation while keeping the focus on the form.

Materiality That Complements the Shape

Gabby’s curves are best expressed through fabric, and every upholstery option has been hand-chosen to support that story. From rich bouclé and performance velvets to textured linens and cool-toned wools, our curated in-stock fabrics elevate Gabby’s silhouette with tactile depth and tonal sophistication.

Looking for something bespoke? Gabby is fully customisable. We offer COM (Customer’s Own Material) and can work with designers to source fabrics that align with your vision, whether soft and tonal or bold and expressive.

Effortless Impact Across Spaces

The Gabby Armchair is ideal for:

• Refined living spaces that balance comfort with clean design

• Boutique hotel lounges, lobbies, or suites

• Modern reading corners or design-focused workspaces

• Gallery-like interiors where form becomes feature

Its sculptural form ensures it reads beautifully from every angle, making it perfect as a floating piece in open-plan layouts or as a thoughtful anchor in more intimate spaces.
