ARCHI - Fabric footstool

ARCHI - Fabric footstool - Pouf by Ligne Roset

Ligne Roset > Pouf

The Archi chair, reissued by Ligne Roset in 2009 and inspired by the iconic TV Chair of 1953, is a masterpiece of modern design. Constructed with a satin black lacquered or brilliant-chromed tubular steel base, it features a sculpted foam-clad metal-structured body that exudes a sense of lively, aerodynamic modernity. The chair's design incorporates an inverted symmetry characteristic of Pierre Paulin’s work, creating a balanced and visually engaging aesthetic. The seat section appears to float above the airy base, supported by silentbloc dampers for added comfort and stability. This innovative suspension system ensures both support and flexibility, making it ideal for those seeking a comfortable yet dynamic seating solution. The Archi chair's design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional. The generous slope of the seat combined with its ergonomic curvature supports the body precisely while providing soft cushioning through the use of Bultex foams. The elastic-webbed suspension further enhances comfort, ensuring that users can enjoy a comfortable and supportive seating experience. The high back design includes distinctive 'ears,' which provide ample support for both head and shoulders, making it an ideal choice for relaxation or as a side chair in living spaces. This feature adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the Archi chair, complementing its modernist style. For those who prefer a more minimalistic look, Ligne Roset offers a matt black or cherry-stained solid ash version of this iconic design. Both versions maintain the same innovative features and comfort levels while offering a different visual palette. To ensure longevity and optimal performance, proper care is essential. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth can help maintain the original finish. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution followed by a thorough drying process to prevent any damage from water or moisture. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could potentially harm the materials used in construction. The Archi chair is versatile and suitable for various applications including living rooms, bedrooms, and even as a side chair in dining areas. Its modern design and comfort make it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a stylish yet functional seating solution.
