Tape Armchair

Tape takes its name from a couture detail: a band, treated like a piece of ribbon, that wraps and holds the chair’s bronze-finished metal feet where they meet the frame. That detail carries through the design, placing the support feet outside the body of the seat rather than tucked beneath it, so the structure stays visible. The soft curve of the shell forms the armrest in one line and cradles a loose back cushion.

Underneath, a solid wood frame strung with high-rubber-content webbing carries a backrest in fire-resistant foam and a seat in variable-density foam, both cased in a breathable fibre laminated to white cotton for softness. Covering can go two ways: fabric on the back and seat with a leather shell and matching tape, or fabric wrapping the back, seat and shell entirely with the tape in a bronze-toned saddle-hide. Every cover comes off completely, and the backrest itself detaches from the base through a quick-release system for faster changes.

The visible outboard feet and the exposed tape detail mean Tape reads best where it can be seen in the round, in the middle of a room rather than backed against a wall, at home or in a hospitality lounge. Because the whole cover system is removable and the backrest unclips, the chair suits a setting that expects to refresh its upholstery on a cycle. Designers mixing the two covering options across a set of chairs should keep the tape colour consistent so the detail reads as one idea across the room.
