The Ellison armchair is defined by a single continuous line that shapes both the seat and the backrest. At the junction between these two elements, the upholstery adapts to the change in form, revealing a subtle lateral tension, a detail that lightens the volume and introduces a sense of immediate familiarity. It is an apparently irregular gesture that evokes the memory of traditional upholstery, making the form feel more approachable and lived-in, while preserving the clarity and contemporary character of the design. The four-spoke swivel metal base further enhances the armchair’s sense of lightness, creating a balanced relationship between the structure and the upholstered volume.
