Mochi Armchair
Made by Exteta
Designed by Studiopepe
The Mochi Armchair takes its name and spirit from the Japanese rice cake, a form defined by softness held within gentle tension. Studiopepe, the Milan-based creative studio known for its poetic materialism, translated that sensibility into furniture through stiff leather frames that cradle deeply rounded cushions. The contrast is deliberate: rigidity and softness in a quiet dialogue.
Exteta constructs each piece for outdoor permanence without sacrificing interior refinement. Weather-resistant materials are chosen with the same attention to finish and hand as those found in the studio's indoor collection, making the Mochi equally at home on a shaded terrace, a yacht deck, or within a considered interior composition.
