The Royce armchair takes flight this month, in a fresh collaboration with Australian designer Nikolai Kotlarczyk. A sculptural and compact armchair suited to both residential and commercial interiors, Royce joins SP01’s elegant collection of character driven designs.
Available with and without headrest, Royce is a detail driven design featuring contrast piping which punctuates the wing shaped backrest and an externally mounted tubular steel frame which can be selected in a highlight finish. When seen together the two versions of the Royce chair creates a lyrical dialogue, offering a sense of rise and fall in a room.
The original avian inspiration behind the design animates the new piece, giving it a sense of character. The simple geometric line is reduced to a bird-like silhouette that appears ready for take-off. The design is an assemblage of curves, from the sinuous frame to the arc of the wing shaped shell and the tight radius of the headrest, ensuring there is not a hard line in sight.
