Melville Armchair
The Melville armchair by Ditre Italia folds fabric-covered edges around generous padded volumes, recalling origami and the collar of a tailored jacket.
Designed by Patrick Norguet, its broad seat and enclosing back sit close to the floor. Small fastening details emphasize the folded upholstery and give the armchair a distinct character from each side.
Every detail, considered.
