The frame consists of a flexible laminated U-shape on casters. The outer layer consists of a black-colored veneer in which the grain structure of ash remains visible. The upholstery is a velour that shows hardly any wear. The subtle yet warm camel color iridescent slightly in the light. The cushions are detachable and yet remain beautifully in place during use due to the specific shapes of the cushions. The lining consists of high-quality HR foam and shows no sagging. As a result, the comfort is soft yet bouncy.
Rolling Pillows is an armchair that takes its place without being flashy. The rounded shapes exude a calm familiarity, comparable to the creations of contemporary designers such as Faye Toogood and Vincent Van Duysen. The fabric, a velvety velour, exudes subtle luxury. The soft surface catches the light in a way that seems to bring the piece of furniture to life.
In an interior where natural materials and an organic aesthetic predominate, such as in the serene designs of Ilse Crawford, this armchair fits perfectly. Here, there are no sharp angles or straight lines, but a flowing form that seems to breathe with the space around it. The black U-frame, with its refined wood grain, adds a robust touch to the design. The unobtrusive casters provide practical flexibility without compromising the aesthetics. This piece is made for a life in motion with functionality that remains stylish.
This armchair evokes images of the Space Age—an era in which humanity first reached for the stars—and combines that futuristic vision with the soothing elements of contemporary, organic design. It is a rare and original vintage piece. Although this armchair displays typical Space Age forms, it is an object that seems to evolve with the space around it, just as the best designs do.
light signs of use, but still in very good condition.
