The LS01 armchair combines clear geometry with soft, curved lines. Its compact, cubic shape is intentionally designed as a contrast to large, heavy armchairs, allowing it to fit easily into many different interior styles. The tubular steel frame defines the outer form and smoothly continues into the upholstered areas.
A special highlight is the shoulder section, where two lines extend in different directions. This creates a dynamic and visually engaging design. The satin-finished steel frame forms a deliberate contrast to the warm, refined surface of the high-quality Alcantara.
The upholstery surrounds a soft inner filling, offering a balanced mix of structural clarity and comfort. The double-curved armrests support ergonomic movement when standing up and give the chair its unique character.
The seat angle is carefully controlled through the fabric and the internal frame construction, ensuring stability as well as comfort. The LS01 stands for a material-focused design, compact proportions, and a thoughtful balance between form and function.
