Take A Line For A Walk Wingback Lounge Chair, Alfredo Haberli, Moroso

About the Item

Take A Line For A Walk Chair, Alfredo Haberli, Paul Smith Edition for Moroso "Drawing is taking a line for a walk." -Paul Klee Cars, spaceships, captain's command chairs at the control panel, a host of references to fantasy boyhood worlds, and emotional triggers to the memories of games played. A wraparound shell, which conforms and protects, a place to relax, rest your head, cut yourself off from the outside world. Designed in 2002, Take a Line For a Walk lounger has kept its innate expressive power. 10 years on, it finds itself upholstered with a zip running the length of its profile, dividing the external from the internal. On the outside it is all precise, orderly geometry; inside, it is softness, bright colors and exuberantly feminine. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Alfredo Haberli is an internationally established designer based in Zurich. In his designs, Haberli manages to unite tradition with innovation, joy and energy. His upbringing in a family of hoteliers and restaurant people has inspired and showed him the way in his work. Award winning design: iF Design Award 2002 (Germany), Excellent Swedish Design Award (Utmarkt svensk form) 2001 (Sweden), Zakka of The Year 2001 (Japan). This chair is upholstered in custom order Paul Smith fabric Maharam fabric which is original to the chair. This wonderful wingaback lounge chair was clearly inspired by the Arne Jacobsen egg chair, but offers a fresh modern take on design.
