AVUS / CLUB CHAIR / PLANK /
2011
AVUS pays tribute to the characteristic qualities of the leather club chair: great comfort, attention to detail, and refined elegance. However, the use of modern materials processed with cutting-edge technology from the automotive and sports industry make AVUS a radical reinterpretation of the lounge classic. The rigid base in ABS is produced as a twin-sheet molded shell, reinforced with a polyurethane foam core. The flexible upper shell consists of a single sheet of the same material. The soft leather upholstery is zipped into the upper shell in one piece, employing a technology which is common in the production of high-end luggage. AVUS is a compact and physically light piece of furniture with a high degree of comfort. It is suitable both for the contract market (waiting areas in hotels, airports, offices) and for private homes.
The combination of plastic shells with leather upholstery provides for an exciting diversity of surfaces. It allows AVUS to be produced in a wide spectrum of color combinations, reaching from complete monochrome to strong contrasts.
