Collection: Arno
Designed by Jess Sorel, the Arno seating collection unites casual comfort with an authoritative presence that arises from strong angles and a generous scale balanced by a low profile and lean proportions.
Drawing from classic furniture forms, the long, low lines are simple and yet welcoming with an open architecture, generous seat depth and gently angled seat and back. The warmth of wood paired with tailored upholstery gives the sofas and chairs a neutral elegance that mixes well with other pieces. The collection offers an extra-wide lounge chair ideal for application as a handsome statement piece in a reception area, hotel lobby or other public setting.
