Ligne-Roset Flax Armchair
FLAX ARMCHAIR
FLAX ARMCHAIR
Designed by Philippe Nigro
Comfortable, easy on the eye and very compact – it fits into a 75 x 75cm cube – this armchair will fit perfectly into all styles of interiors.
Its structure, a functional carcase of a type which is normally concealed, becomes not only visible but so much more, its principal aesthetic attribute.
In 2019, the enduring success of the Flax armchairs since their launch in 2010 has led Philippe Nigro to complement them with a settee with the same construction.
Perfectly proportioned, it offers two generous seat places whilst occupying the least possible space: with a depth of 80cm, it is only 135cm wide! The one-piece seat cushion reinforces the impression of discreet elegance.

DETAIL
Ideal for small spaces, its walnut frame nonetheless lightens its visual presence still further. Just like the armchair, the settee also offers a choice of two heights of back cushion. As a counterpoint to contemporary surroundings, its look back at past expertise and the vibrancy of its natural walnut bring a touch of warmth.
