Torii is born from the reinterpretation of an architectural gesture rich in symbolism: the threshold. Inspired by the Japanese torii—structures that mark the transition between the everyday and the sacred—the armchair translates this idea into a piece that invites pause, a change of pace, and a calmer way of inhabiting space. Its design is built on clear lines and balanced proportions, where the structure takes on a leading role without becoming imposing. The dialogue between horizontal and vertical planes subtly recalls the geometry of torii, giving rise to a silhouette that is recognizable yet restrained. It is an exercise in formal synthesis that seeks essence without becoming literal.
The great challenge of this collection lies in combining presence and lightness: an armchair with architectural character that, at the same time, feels welcoming and approachable. Torii is a versatile piece, capable of fitting into a variety of settings, from domestic interiors to contract projects, without losing its identity. More than an object, it proposes an experience: that of crossing a small everyday threshold into a moment of pause.Set on a solid, monolithic base, Stefy achieves a refined equilibrium between lightness and stability. The base grounds the composition, allowing the upper volume to appear almost suspended, as if rotating around its own axis. From every angle, the chair reveals a different identity: compact and sculptural from afar, welcoming and tactile up close. This shifting perception is at the core of the project—Stefy is not just an object to sit on, but a presence that activates the space, continuously redefining itself through movement, light, and perspective.
