Lou Speak Armchair
The Lou Speak armchair by Driade raises a broad, sculptural shell on a polished cast-aluminum swivel base.
Designed by Philippe Starck, it combines a polyurethane foam body with an internal steel-rod structure. Fixed fabric or leather upholstery follows the high back and curved arms, giving the indoor chair an expressive form that can turn with the conversation.
