Overview

Signed by the eclectic Japanese studio Nendo, directed by Oki Sato, Tape Armchair is a seat with a light silhouette, but a strong personality.

With their distinctive, ironic approach, Nendo overturns the traditional idea of the feet coming out of the body of the seat, placing them externally to the structure. Tape owes its name to its couture detail, conceived as a piece of ribbon that holds the Bronze-colored metal feet—Nendo’s tribute to the sartorial experience of Minotti.

The soft curve of the shell, which accommodates the soft back cushion, highlights the pure and enveloping line of the armchair.

Customizable in a wide range of leather and fabric coverings, it presents two possible sets of pairings. In one version, the fabric covers the back and the seat cushion, while the shell and the tape detail are in leather of the same color; in the other, the textile envelops the back, the seat cushion, and the entire shell, while the tape detail is in Bronze-colored saddle-hide.

With its firm formal identity and its impeccable proportions, Tape Armchair, together with its companion Tape Ottoman, becomes the protagonist of any space that welcomes it, whether residential or commercial.
