A small, low armchair, designed mainly for the hospitality sector, in hotel lobbies, bedrooms, lounges and bars, but also in the home as an occasional armchair set alongside impressive sofas. Classic frame made entirely of wood, where the backrest also acts as an armrest.
The structural seat and backrest function is performed by hide leather straps that guarantee perfect comfort by adapting ergonomically to the body. Seat and backrest are complete with comfortable cushions covered in textiles or leather chosen from the wide range of the Molteni&C collections
“Gillis has a very strong modernist language. Perfectly crafted timber joinery details, characteristic leather straps at the back of the backrest, the armrest padded with leather made of one single piece gently turning around the backrest make the distinctive design traits of this compact yet very comfortable armchair".
- Vincent Van Duysen
Vincent Van Duysen was born in 1962, in Lokeren, Belgium and graduated in architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, in Ghent. From 1986 to 1989 he worked in Milan and Brussels. He opened his own studio in Antwerp, in 1990 focusing on architecture and interior design. The relationship between interior design and architecture in his work is profound. Furnishings and accessories are designed with an architectural perspective that is not limited by form, but is expressed with a careful perception of interior space and its relationship to the exterior architecture. By interpreting architecture and redefining its proportions, Van Duysen creates objects of great purity and simplicity that still retain a concrete character and solid form.
