An object that inhabits the space it is placed in
Ruff, Getlucky‘s “sister” armchair, is designed by Patricia Urquiola for the contract and hospitality sectors, and indeed any living space, as it offers the ideal forum for a conversation.
The wide armrests lie on the sides of the seat section and wrap around it firmly, even though they have just one single joint. The result is the harmonious combination between curved and straight lines – a simple geometry which creates an architectural interaction with the surrounding space. The Ruff armchair has a functional shape, while its personality does not give up being an object that inhabits the space it is placed in.
