The 'Fly' armchair has been designed by Pepe Lima as a furniture piece with a modern design flair that offers an illusory experience for onlookers. The chair maintains a seemingly deconstructed design aesthetic that's achieved with bent plywood over the frame to have it appear as though it's floating just above the body. The chair is paired with leather-covered cushions on the seat itself and the backrest to provide a touch of undulating comfort against the hard structural design.
The 'Fly' armchair could be compared to the iconic Eames lounge chair and helps to elevate the form into a modern furniture piece for the home. The chair is the Gold Winner of the A’ Design Award for 2022.
