The perfect armchair offers comfort, visual appeal, quality, durability and a story hidden in its design lines. Encompassing these important qualities into a modern design, Swedish – French design studio Färg & Blanche created the Emma Armchair for manufacturer Gärsnäs. One of the designers explains how his Swedish paternal grandmother had an Emma armchair that he inherited with joy and honor. From that to the reinterpretation of this design classic there was only one step.

Fashion and furniture design meet in this traditional yet innovative design reinterpreting the classic shape of an Emma Armchair.  The hand-sewn armchair showcases a beech frame supported by beech legs, while its upholstery comes in woven fabric. The elegant needlework speaks the language of modern craftsmanship, while the stockinged legs convey the feeling of an elegant and inspirational design. Which room in your home would you see Emma’s beautiful shape adorning?
