Inspiration
Lotus is born from Jasper Morrison’s aim to re-design the classical Sixties’ office seats. A thin and refined shell which is enhanced with an extremely sophisticated covering difficult to realize. This product represents the natural evolution of the glued upholstery system on three dimensional forms already experimented by #jaspermorrison with Hi Pad and Low Pad chairs, progenitors of this innovative upholstery’s technique. #lotus is one of the best expressions of Italian know-how and craftsmanship.
technical spec.
The co-molding of the fabric or leather with polyurethane foam creates the characteristic shape of “small cushions”. They support seat and back. It is the result of an ergonomic study of the chair that provides comfort, despite the small thickness and its visual “lightness”. Every element is finished off by hand. The base is realized in die cast aluminum, characterized by an exclusive form. #lotus fits easily into a variety of home or work situations thanks to the many ways its seat can be customized with different covers and sizes. A product with a simple but extremely sophisticated #design.
