Layered side panels create the illusion of a single, continuous flowing structure. The silhouette begins at the crest, descending smoothly to form the seat, reaching the floor, and rising again into the armrest.
Inspired by the artistry of Chinese calligraphy, the thickness of the panels varies dynamically with their orientation, mimicking the organic weight changes of a brush stroke as it moves across the page.





Comfortable
Optimized Comfort: Engineered using precise ergonomic metrics, the transition between the seat and backrest is optimized to provide maximum support and lasting comfort.

Caring
Refined Detail: Chamfered edges on the handrests eliminate sharp corners, ensuring a safe and tactilely pleasant experience.
Gentle
Ergonomic Support: A natural, sweeping angle follows the body’s contours, providing continuous support from the lap down to the upper calves.
