Envelope-Inspired Leather Armchair by Ilse Lang – Brazilian Craft & Comfort

About the Item

Inspired by the gentle, protective gesture of an envelope holding a letter—like a quiet embrace—this striking armchair by Ilse Lang merges emotional narrative with refined craftsmanship. Constructed from broad, interlaced leather straps that wrap around a soft, inviting inner layer, the piece balances strength and tenderness in its form. Rooted in the vernacular traditions of Rio Grande do Sul, where the designer hails from, the chair subtly references local tanneries and artisanal heritage while delivering a distinctly modern silhouette. The result of a deep exploration into form, material, and ergonomics, this armchair is more than functional—it’s timeless. The sophisticated production process and use of high-quality natural leather create a tactile experience that feels grounded, authentic, and enduring. It’s a piece that invites presence, comfort, and contemplation.
