About the Item
Glide Armchair
Designed by Monica Förster
The Glide armchair is inspired by the constant transformations of nature-the fluid transition from one form to another, and from one state to the next, like snow gently melting in spring. Monica Förster has designed a light, essential armchair that conceals an unexpected depth of comfort.
A slender metal frame supports the seat, which is both wide and remarkably slim. Its comfort derives from the carefully crafted material: molded polyurethane with varying thicknesses, designed to follow the natural contours of the body. The result is an airy, spontaneous embrace that envelops the sitter in soft support, combining visual lightness with a welcoming tactile experience.

Meridiana Chair in Black Leather by Christophe Pillet for Driade
By Christophe Pillet, Driade
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The Meridiana table stems from the ultimate globetrotter chair, revised this year with solid wooden legs. An archetype of the coffee shop or domestic table, it displays a precious balance between the round, wood particleboard top and the solid wood frame and legs. A mass-coloured clay mixture is smoothed over the top by hand with a scraper. The table’s aesthetic is distinguished by the shaded, handmade finish of its top. Available in the following colours: Volcano red, Lava black and Champagne.
