Comfortable pews at the Milan Fair 2011

A chance of taking a sit down, at the Milan Fair, is always welcomed and there are more than numerous opportunities. Three seats, that particularly gave rise to a truely memorable sit down this year, at the Fair, are mentioned here and are worth making a noting of for any lounge settings.

The Vitra Grand Repos (by Antonio Citterio 2011) introduces a new degree of comfort to the world of home furniture. It's backrest and seat surface can be moved to different opening angles, from a comfortable sitting position to a relaxed reclined position, by means of a synchronous mechanism hidden in the interior of the upholstery. The armchair can be locked into any desired position. The Vitra Grand Repos is available in various leather and fabric qualities.

The deSede DS-168 Design (by Gordon Guillaumier) is set to become a favourite seat. Formally, the DS-168 is the modern interpretation of a classic theme, the so-called 'wing' chair. The DS-168 stands out because of it's comfort, and it's elegance. The extraordinary quality of the exclusive leather and the perfect finish are typical of de Sede. A perfect addition are the neck cushion and a footstool.

The deSede DS-480 Design (by Alfredo Häberli) is based on de Sede’s acclaimed 90-degree swivel function. The DS-480 model reflects a sporty new design concept that integrates adjustable new side-section, knee-angle and headrest features. The exceptional versatility of the DS-480 sofa enables it to be converted, with two simple movements, into a double armchair that is ideal for relaxing. The back and leg rests are adjustable, at the touch of a button, to ensure a perfect position for everyone.
