Trench Lounge Chair by Piaval
Designed by Laura Silvestrini
A versatile collection that can easily furnish several interiors for the contract sector. Trench is characterised by a tubular element in curved wood that surrounds the backrest, almost as if to mark what in terms of tailoring is the “waistline”. The upholstery is draped in slight casual chic ripples, both on the front and back of the backrest, evoking the folds that the fabric of the timeless outerwear creates when it is tightened by the belt. The rear structure and the padding of the body itself have been modelled to match the fluid sign of the covering. The result is a series of elegant seats with a welcoming shape, which wink to fashion, but don’t give up stability and comfort.
The ductility and resistance of solid ash are enhanced by the careful workmanship of the structure and in particular of the rear legs of Trench Slightly apart, they fit right into the “belt”, with an essential and discreet sign that highlights even more the soft silhouette of the armchair.
Thanks to its consolidated know-how in the healthcare sector, in which the company has been active over the decades, Piaval applies to the contract models some useful solutions to facilitate the sanitisation processes and to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria. This guarantees maximum hygiene, resistance and durability, qualities that are now more essential than ever for the cruise and contract sector.
