LÉO-LÉONIS
Sawaya & Moroni
With sustainable development, new living spaces appear in our homes. Whether it is an apartment or a penthouse, vast loggias, pieces of terrace, are transformed into pleasant and protected places between the interior and the exterior. These new spaces call for a type of outdoor design furniture, capable of being installed indoors. The LEO LEONIS set is inspired by colonial furniture that occupied the terraces of large residential houses. These sofa-armchair furniture were very comfortable; one could read there, smoke there and sleep there. We could also move them in good weather near the swimming pool or under a tree but also, in the event of a storm, bring them inside like a living room sofa. The silhouette of the set is inspired by the celestial constellations which can only be read when they are linked together. These forms and their movements have no geometric rigor but astronomical precision. The weaving of wood introduces this notion of raw garden furniture to accompany a natural colored or monochrome wood-fabric fabric. Generous furniture in its dimensions and comfort, conducive to a certain tranquility and daydreaming.
