HUMPHREY ARMCHAIR
HUMPHREY ARMCHAIR
Designed by Evangelos Vasileiou
Evangelos Vasileiou is revisiting the 1950s with his very appropriately-named Humphrey armchair, which is just as classically chiselled as the famous of the famous actor.
Accompanied by its footrest, it becomes a chaise longue. Plomb-coloured metal base; seat in leather or fabric; armrests in natural or black-stained oak - and all this at an accessible price.
The design of the Humphrey armchair asserts a certain modernity and a place in its time with its efficiency and economy of means. he two massive volumes of the seat float in the air, suspended from a slim, elegant structure, a gesture like the pen-stroke of a calligrapher.
To the steel wire and fabric of the seat, a third material is added for the armrest: solid sculpted wood, a noble, welcoming materials which functions like a punctuation mark to the fluid writing of the structure.
