OverviewThe Armand armchair, designed by Christophe Delcourt, is defined by a thin metal shell that wraps the backrest and extends to enclose the whole seat, producing a compact, sculptural profile with a clear constructive logic.
Materials & ConstructionThe outer shell is covered in regenerated leather and folds at the top to form continuous armrests. This exterior element integrates and conceals the rear legs so the armchair reads as a single cohesive volume. The interior seat is padded and fully upholstered to provide comfort while maintaining a defined silhouette.
Legs & GeometryThe legs are formed as half‑cylinders, creating a distinct architectural detail at the contact with the floor. Their geometry provides rhythm and stability, contrasting with the smooth curvature of the upper shell.
