66 - François TROUBAT, French artist and designer, 20th century

François TROUBAT, French artist and designer, 20th century Interlude Armchair. This armchair is designed as a work of art. It draws the eye and commands an extraordinary amount of space and attention. Characterized by its sinuous lines and off-center design, it bridges the gap between an armchair and a chaise longue. With only a single armrest on the left, this model breaks free from the rigid conventions of the traditional armchair. It borrows the openness of a chaise longue or a loveseat, inviting a more relaxed, almost languid posture. The armchair is an invitation to conversation: The absence of an armrest on the right side creates a completely open view toward the outside. Visually and spatially, the piece does not close in on itself; it opens up to others and lends itself perfectly to conversation, allowing one to sit at an angle or easily turn toward a second seat. This off-center configuration accentuates the sense of movement. The structure seems to curl and rise on one side, only to unfold and “exhale” on the other, reinforcing the organic and sculptural quality characteristic of the artist’s work.
