Kolossai Focus Armchair

Kolossai is a high-sided focus armchair drawn for a short phone call or quiet reading in an open-plan office. The shell has a flat top edge and square corners, like a small booth. It is covered in stone-coloured fabric and carries a solid oak cap rail along the top edge. Inside there is a horizontally channelled back pad and a loose seat cushion. The lower frame stands on four square oak legs with a rail on each side. It takes its name from Kolossai, the ancient city in Honaz, Denizli. We make it in our factory in Istanbul. The tall side and back panels cut off sound and sightlines from the next desk, so the person sitting finds a corner of their own on a busy floor. The chair is upright and not deep; it is made for a short sit, not for stretching out. The inside and outside of the shell are covered in the same fabric, and the textured weave hides daily wear. The legs stand clear of the floor, which keeps cleaning easy. On a floor plan it sits along a wall, between columns, or at the junction between working islands. Fabric, oak tone and size are chosen at order; if several are to stand in a row, we draw the layout with you.
