The Object
“Hercules” is an armchair designed for high-end reception areas and spatial design environments. Intended for short seating experiences, it belongs to the design language often referred to as a “cold chair,” both for its metallic materiality and its striking presence. Yet despite this perception, the chair surprises anyone who sits on it with an unexpected level of comfort.
Design & Visual Language
The chair is built from one continuous outer shell that holds together the seat and backrest structure, composed of two additional seat panels and two backrest panels. This layered construction, combined with its folded edges and cut-outs, creates a refined outline that conveys luxury. The sculptural curves and hollow sections give the chair a spatial, almost futuristic character, offering visual interest from every angle.
Technical & Material Aspects
Made entirely from metal sheets, the chair combines strength with precision detailing. The external shell provides stability, while the inner panels create ergonomic support. Its surface finish and carefully bent forms emphasize craftsmanship while reinforcing durability, ensuring the chair’s presence remains striking over time
