A luxurious, eclectic living room featuring two totora armchairs by malabar in the foreground. The armchairs have circular backs and seats upholstered in a zebra-patterned fabric, supported by sculptural, cone-shaped wooden legs with tiered rings. In the background, a vibrant sapphire blue mon ooh sideboard features intricate geometric carvings. On top of it sits the light blue cactus table lamp by creativemary. The back wall is covered in textured brown wallpaper, centered by a large expressionist painting of a black horse with a reclining figure on its back against a deep red background. The room is illuminated by a tortona suspension lamp with brass arms and a red arch. The floor is light wood with black diamond accents, partially covered by a jagged-edge rug in terracotta and blue geometric patterns.

The Art of Sitting, Defined as Sculpture

The Totara Armchair was conceived as a contemporary exploration of the balance between mass and void through a bold, architectural form inspired by ancient arches. The art of sitting, defined as sculpture.

Its enveloping form juxtaposes a plush interior, upholstered in Jolie Josephine jacquard velvet by Misia, with a bold, architectural silhouette, while the striped marquetry legs, combining natural oak and smoked walnut wood veneers, reinforce the dialogue between artisanal craftsmanship and contemporary design.

The Totara Armchair reflects postmodernism’s engagement with historical references, interpreted through a lens of restraint and clarity. Rather than relying on exaggeration, it establishes presence through proportion, silhouette, and material articulation, key attributes for high-end interior specification.
