CAPSULE ARMCHAIR
The capsule armchairs were a collaboration with Teresa Gameiro textile designer, where simple geometric forms have been put together with locally woven recycled fabrics, to provide a comfortable yet distinctive 'throne-chair', enhancing the idea of the singularity of each patient, as if he was sitting inside his own capsule, ready board on a memorable journey.
The way these are lined up along the waiting rooms, enable first and foremost to enjoy the natural light from the large windows with a greenery screen in front that provides some privacy, but also to bring back the space feeling, as if it was a spacecraft about to depart.
It is made with easy-to-clean velvet fabric and with hand-woven fabric that is made of recycled textile waste and using traditional mechanical wooden looms by local weavers. The strict rhythm of the pattern creates a stronger structured fabric enhancing the geometry of the seat and back cushions.
Moreover the capsule armchair also fits well in a residential environment. It has been acquired by residential clients who look for a unique and locally designed and produced piece.
