La Roche Chair, A Creative and Unusual Design


From Milla Rezanova, comes the new “La Roche Chair” concept, with a shape that has the ability of making you stop for a minute and analyse it in detail. Sustained mostly by its outer “cloak”, the chair almost seems like it’s floating, making it hard for one to imagine it is actually stable and connected to the ground. Its look is not only interesting from the front, but no matter how you place it, there is something original to be discovered, whether it is a special angle, a line or just the mix of colours. With a refined elegance, it suits well in a classic, “black and white” interior, but also in a rebel one, personalizing the place, because, overall, it seems to have an identity of its own.
