Lepal

The Lepal armchair is made with contrast in mind, perfectly balancing a shapely hard shell with soft, layered seating on a slender, angled base. Its elegant geometric structure, curved shell and inner cushions accommodate both upright seating and gentle repose, while offering sturdy yet light support for privacy – suitable for conversation, reading or work across public and private settings. Designed for any environment, Lepal offers single or bi-material upholstery and a choice of metal or wood bases.

Every component of Lepal has been designed to be completely separable: the outer shell, upholstery and legs can all be removed without glue, enabling repair, replacement and recycling. The form emerged through a close dialogue between sketching, model-making and drawing, with studio maquettes and full-scale mock-ups shaping the chair’s identity. Precise vertical and horizontal lines balance the sensuality of the moulded shell, while the lightweight frame contributes to the sense of levity that defines the piece.
