Know before you buy
While the Ribbon chair is a striking sculptural statement, it is engineered with ergonomic support specifically for lounge use. It is designed to provide a comfortable seating experience for reading or relaxing, not just for visual impact.
The chair is available in Fabric Atlantic (Category A) and Tonus by Kvadrat (Category B). Tonus is a classic, high-quality wool fabric known for its durability and vibrant color depth, while Atlantic offers a different texture and price point within the Artifort collection.
No, this piece is strictly for indoor use. Exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, or outdoor elements may damage the upholstery and the internal structural integrity of the chair.
The Ribbon chair has a unique, fluid silhouette that occupies a significant visual presence. Because of its organic curves, it works best when given enough space to be viewed from multiple angles rather than being tucked into a tight corner.
The Ribbon Lounge Armchair is delivered as a finished piece. No assembly is required, allowing you to place it directly into your space upon arrival.
