Arty armchairs, the original decorating idea for the house

In a home, each one has a confortable armchair to relax and feel at ease. But when armchairs take on the shapes and colours of an actual work of art, with a subtle balance between beauty and originality, transforming the space in a spectacular manner, without being ridiculous, they bring fantasy to our environments while conveying more value.

An arty decorative idea at home

In the universe of furniture, design largely inspired itself from the artistic world, and a great many 20th century painters have paid their homage to it. Still life with Caned Chair by Picasso, Mouth sofa by Dali, Small Chair by Jean Dubuffet with graphic drawings, Luxembourg Garden Chair by David Hockney or Electric Chair by Andy Warhol—there is a long list.

And you might as well admit you had been thinking of it for a long time…
