Blue Velvet Armchair
Made by Edra
Fernando and Humberto Campana approached the Blue Velvet armchair as an exercise in softness made structural. Fully padded and quilted velvet wraps a dark wood frame, producing a silhouette that reads as generous and composed in equal measure. The quilting distributes volume with intention, giving the upholstery a sculptural presence rather than a purely decorative one.
The character of the piece draws from the warmth of a comforter while holding the posture of a proper chair. Its removable cover is a considered detail, reflecting the Campanas' long-standing interest in objects designed to live with people over time and to age with care rather than be replaced.
