Pk6 armchair
The main inspiration for PK6 armchair comes
from standard metal structures used for
secondary architectural projects.
The design intention transforms industrial
profiles and a wired mesh, usually applied as
supporting elements, into protagonists of the
main stage.
All metal structure is visible and guides the
design intention of the armchair.
It is also handmade, as trims, welds and folds
are executed manually.
The wired mesh is a braided surface produced
by an industrial loom, handled by the
artisans.
Automotive painting is polyurethane based and
sets a bright and waterproof surface, giving
the piece a high chemical and mechanical
resistance.
Levelers allows to finetune the height of the
seats as well as adjust any unexpected gaps on
the flooring.
The upholstery is made by solid foam and
provides a sensory contrast. They are used on
the main points of contact of the user and the
couch.
