Ume

Description

The Ume series explores the idea of imperfection through its asymmetrical structure and design, while still maintaining comfort and ergonomic qualities. The unique form deconstructs typical furniture geometry, showcasing its structural and technological mastery.

The double fabric overlay on the backrest is a simple and honest approach to upholstery, inspired by Oriental clothing, that gives the design a warm and gentle feel. The seemingly asymmetrical shape creates an illusion of elusiveness and ambiguity, and the masterful use of fabric makes it an integral part of the form.

The series includes an armchair, a two-person sofa, and a memory return swivel armchair, all with the option of added wheels and a contrasting fabric welt. The Ume can be a standout piece in a room or blend in with its surroundings, but its original silhouette will always be noticed.
