ABRIC ARMCHAIR

The spirit of the Abric armchair and sofa draws its inspiration from the universal symbol of comfort, warmth and enveloping protection represented by blankets and coats. Abric is Catalan for “coat”. This inspiration is reflected in the way the horizontal seams centered on the backrest and armrests give the foam a cozy shape whose visual effect creates a sensation of warmth, as if the armchair and sofa were themselves a cozy blanket ready to welcome its user.
