The Cover seating and table collection has been designed to harmonize with a wide range of rooms, offices, breakout spaces, lounges or even home environments. In order to achieve this, we have developed a design that ‘hybridizes’ two typologies of seating – the club armchair and the swivel armchair. When approaching the armchair and the sofa from the rear, they appear as closed, solid volumes, hovering just above the floor. However, viewed from the front, the seats have a more open character and the closed volume is revealed to be a soft shell, open towards the front. This shell, formed by the smooth transition between the armrests and backrest, wraps around the seat cushion in a manner reminiscent of a cape or ankle-length overcoat.
