Applications

• Lounge areas and hotel lobbies
• Reception and waiting zones
• Hospitality and contract interiors
• Executive and collaborative office settings

Design & comfort
Proportions and surface transitions are calibrated to present a visually balanced, enveloping volume from every angle. The outer shell develops through progressive curves that interact with the seat, producing the impression of a single continuous form. Internal ergonomic padding is shaped with defined lines that meet the shell along crisp edges. A concealed adaptive mechanism under the upholstery allows the seat to follow body movements, enabling smooth transitions from reclined to more upright postures. Integrated cushions and generous armrests enhance comfort for prolonged use in professional environments.

Variants

• AH 9090 — High-back (wingback) lounge armchair: more enveloping back and armrests for privacy and protection in open areas
• AH 7090 — Standard-back lounge armchair: more open, lighter silhouette
• AH P000 — Coordinated footstool: pairs with both armchair variants to increase comfort

Construction & materials
The ergonomic shell is cold-moulded from flexible polyurethane and reinforced with rigid internal inserts for stability. A rigid coated casing completes the shell. The armchair sits on a modern 4‑spoke aluminium swivel base fitted with polypropylene feet to protect flooring.
