ERI Armchair
Made by Flexform
Fumie Shibata drew the ERI's defining contour from the uplifted line of a jacket lapel, translating a gesture of tailored clothing into upholstered form. The result is a chair that reads as both sculptural and deeply inviting: precise at its edges, generous within.
An upholstered shell cradles soft goose-down cushions, creating a considered contrast between the chair's crisp profile and its yielding interior. The ERI holds its character across a wide range of fabrics and leathers, and an optional swivel metal base extends its suitability from residential interiors to contract environments.
