Middleweight Club Chair

Design Michael Anastassiades, 2021
Powder-coated steel frame, fabric or leather upholstery
Made in Italy by Karakter

“This was my first sofa design, but actually the biggest surprise didn’t come until the product was finalized, when we stood there, looking at the actual sofa, and it looked exactly like what I had in my head. It is a great satisfaction as a designer. You can’t accelerate the process of design. An idea has to come when the time is right, so you have to stretch the process as long as possible and allow for enough time to get the ideas and experiments across.” – Michael Anastassiades

The piece captures the best of two worlds, the Italian super lounge sofa on one side and the compact Danish box sofa on the other. Set on a thin, open steel frame, the cushions are firmly held together by zippers and carefully mitered in the corners of the frame, resembling the sharp edges of folded paper.

The Middleweight Collection is completed by 3 and 2 seat sofas, a club chair, and a pouf.
