The Carrelet armchair

pays homage

to the warmth of plump forms.

Its generous curves

evoke Nikki de Saint Phalle,

and the caress of a drape

that folds - soft embrace,

around the shoulders.

 

Resting on four asymmetrical legs,

it is all roundness and balance.

The upholsterer worked without crease,

letting the fabric follow the wood

like a sensual wave.

The tapissier’s curved needle,

precise and pliable,

creates tension without rigidity.

The frame surfaces softly,

almost imperceptibly.

 

Protective and chubby,

the Carrelet armchair is conceived

as a cocoon.

One feels welcomed,

as if wrapped in the warm scent

of linen dried in the sun.
