The repetitive sticks of the back and the paper cord braided arms of the Braid sofa are inspired by patterns found in classic bamboo constructions and tatami mats.

The Ruche Armchair by Inga Sempé from Domo

Inga Sempé completed the Ruché range including an armchair with asymmetrical arms. A stylistic effect, certainly, but it is more than that. The high armrest with its elastic-webbed suspension, enables one to lean back comfortably and then hook one’s legs over the low armrest.
