Moon Chair by Charles Kalpakian

By French Lebanese designer Charles Kalpakian, ‘Moon’ is a contemporary armchair with a vintage twist in Kvadrat upholstery. Its very high back and its unusual width and depth (80 cm both) make it particularly welcoming and comfortable. Pricing is for a set of (2) armchairs. This contemporary armchair is a reinterpretation of some major classics from the 1950s. Soft, pure yet flexible lines in a clean movement are enhanced by the contrast of colors. Each armrest is imagined like a woven jewel and is the final touch, completing the attire. It is is a limited edition of 10 + 2AP. Charles Kalpakian’s design has three roots: France where he lives, Lebanon where he was born in 1982, and the Street Art culture. These influences transpire through his reinterpretation of a combination of motifs from the history of Decorative Arts and iconic Lebanese motifs, filtered by a resolute urban and contemporary culture. The stroke is always clean, even if the gesture resembles calligraphy in space.
