Description
The collection’s icon is the Gaar lounge chair, designed by Nareg Krikorian. A distinguished example of contemporary design and exceptional craftsmanship. Constructed from a single hollow leather panel with elegantly bent shorter edges, it prominently features the collection’s signature thick stitching, creating a striking profile. Departing from conventional straight-edged padding, this chair exemplifies refined elegance through its curved and finite loops. It represents a masterful fusion of functional art, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design sensibilities.
The lounge chair embodies a blend of contemporary design ideologies and traditional craftsmanship, with the exaggerated stitches celebrating the intricacies of hand-stitching scaled to an unprecedented size.
With Gaar, Nareg aims to inject a sense of both fierce and flirtatious elegance into a contemporary space. His design and the making process highlight the rich history of leather as a material, but also push the boundaries of conventional furniture design, embracing a more cultural and new-romanticized feel to it.
