Periscopio Armchair
Made by Exteta
Designed by Studiopepe
Periscopio is a collaboration between Exteta and the Milanese creative studio Studiopepe, whose practice moves fluidly between architecture, interiors, and object design. The armchair takes its name from the periscope, an instrument that shifts perspective, and the reference is deliberate: the elevated seat and cantilevered frame reframe the relationship between body and ground, lending the piece a quality closer to sculpture than furniture.
The structure is engineered for both indoor and outdoor environments, with materiality chosen to weather time and climate without surrendering precision of form. Graceful curves are held in careful dialogue with the geometric boldness of the silhouette, a balance that characterizes Studiopepe's broader design sensibility.
