The lines of these series of lounge chairs and sofas are sharp, rational and symmetric, and seen as his personal answer to the Memphis movement of the 1980s :

This piece makes a lasting impression; place it in your space and it will spark guaranteed conversation, and at the same time provide a rather comfortable seating experience due to the full grain, non corrected aniline leather and well padded frame.

The seat area has a tilt-down function that comes down when applying weight, similar to a theater seat.
