LPIDC02 Armchair
Made by Exteta
Designed by Paola Navone
The LPIDC02 Armchair is a collaboration between Paola Navone, Exteta, and Loro Piana Interiors, grounded in a gesture of deliberate expansion. Navone takes the lean, folding logic of the director's chair and transforms it into a fixed, generous seat, broader in proportion and built to stay.
Solid wood forms the structural spine, lending warmth and visual weight without tipping into heaviness. The upholstery, developed with Loro Piana Interiors, brings a tactile softness that reads as invitation rather than formality. The result is a chair that occupies space with quiet confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the LPIDC02 Armchair?
The LPIDC02 was designed by Paola Navone for Exteta in collaboration with Loro Piana Interiors. Navone is a Milan-based designer known for work that bridges cultural references with a distinctly personal material sensibility.
What is the design reference behind this armchair?
The chair draws on the proportional language of the classic director's chair, a folding seat with a long history in both utilitarian and cinematic contexts. Navone reinterprets that silhouette as a stationary, enlarged form suited to more permanent settings.
Is the LPIDC02 suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The armchair is designed for outdoor environments, particularly covered terraces or sheltered spaces, and is made to order with materials selected for both weather resilience and refined appearance.
What upholstery options are available for the LPIDC02?
Upholstery is developed in partnership with Loro Piana Interiors, whose textile offerings are known for exceptional hand and durability. Specific fabric options should be confirmed at the time of inquiry, as the piece is made to order.
How does Exteta approach outdoor furniture design?
Exteta is an Italian brand that treats outdoor furniture with the same material rigor and design intention applied to interior pieces. The brand frequently collaborates with noted designers to produce work that performs in open or semi-open environments without sacrificing formal elegance.
