Details
Balaao gives us the feeling of sensual warmth, or more precisely, of a thoroughly aesthetic and tactile softness.
The name comes from the Portuguese and means balloon. The design is caught between strict geometry and its dissolution into an organic language of form.
The folds that wrap around the generous cushion at the round corners do not ask for rules or uniformity, and the widely flared backrest also breaks the right angle with deliberate obstinacy.
The elaborate cast aluminium feet that lend the sofa its lightness are reminiscent of a surrealist piece of jewellery.
