B&B Italia – Pablo armachair oak structure leather seat

Poised midway between a small armchair and a chaise longue, Pablo stands out for its accentuated, comfortable design, resulting in aesthetic and structural solutions with a strong visual impact. The appealing shape is defined by an accentuated depth and a slightly inclined front.

The frame is in solid wood in various finishes. Flowing on from the backrest and fastened to the armrests, the seat seams to float, suspended in mid-air. It comprises a double layer of thick leather with light seat padding, barely visible to the eye but capable of ensuring great comfort. Apparently simple, Pablo reveals a meticulous attention to detail.

The result is especially noticeable in the proportions, which are calibrated to the millimetre, in the constant counterpoint of straight and curved lines, and in the frame’s vertical elements softened by a curved section.

Vincent Van Duysen

Vincent Van Duysen was born in 1962, in Lokeren, Belgium and graduated from architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, in Ghent.From 1986 to 1989 he worked in Milan and Brussels. He opened his own studio in Antwerp, in 1990 focusing on architecture and interior design. The relationship between interior design and architecture in his work is profound. Furnishings and accessories are designed with an architectural perspective that is not limited by form, but is expressed with a careful perception of interior space and its relationship to the exterior architecture. By interpreting architecture and redefining its proportions, Van Duysen creates objects of great purity and simplicity that still retain a concrete character and solid form.
