A Place of Shelter
"The name Harbor comes from a feeling of having a place to come back to; I also wanted this seat to have a feeling of wrapping around the body." —Naoto Fukasawa
Overview
Harbor Armchair by Naoto Fukasawa for B&B Italia continues the designer’s research on the upside-down truncated cone-shaped seat. Two forms are ergonomically designed and developed to obtain a relaxing lounge chair with a high back and headrest as well as a conversation armchair with a low back. Both chairs have a swivel base and visible metal hinge in the back that, like the iconic Papilio series, allows the removal of the cover. In addition to the two chairs, the collection features an ottoman with a removable tray element that allows it to be used as either a small table or a footrest.
