PALMA CHAIR

Designed by Khodi Feiz

The easy chair Palma is designed by Khodi Feiz. Palma is inspired by the cupped palm of a hand, symbolically cradling the body that sits in it.

The chair's elegant form is captured in the seat, backrest and armrests as a single graceful movement.

With its frame of molded birch veneer and seamless upholstery, Palma features an extremely elegant design. Above all, Khodi Feiz and Offecct have endeavored to develop a chair with a long lifespan.

It must be able to withstand wear and remain appealing to the eye. The chair is clearly informal. Feiz would like to see it used in the home as well as featuring in a professional conference room.

He designed the chair to work as a freestanding piece that can also be grouped around a table to give the room a unique configuration.

“Palma is a chair to investigate and enjoy. When a child crawls up into the chair, it’s entirely different from when an adult gets into it. Children throw their feet up and cling to it in a way we adults do not”, says designer Khodi Feiz
