As a somewhat contemporary throne, this armchair is intended to reconsider ideas of comfort, push construction and challenge expected proportions. It reflects a commitment to slow design and thoughtful sustainability, using reclaimed Tasmanian myrtle to its limits and adopting recycled polyester upholstery* for its durability.

Conceptually, the design is manifested in contradicting ideas. Functional, yet playful. Svelte in figure, yet slouchy in nature. Minimal in construction, yet overly generous in comfort. Technically a bench, yet as relaxed as a couch. Practically, the work is defined by a minimal framework and a continuous arm-to-backrest plane that work together to contain two oversized cushions - a dynamic affording multiple approaches to comfort. Sit as expected with your arms to your side and legs on the ground, edge forward and slouch, sit cross legged on the wide base, or, even better, lounge with your legs draped over one side.
