Isola armchair has been featured at International Furniture Fair 2012 in Milan. Claesson Koivisto Rune has designed Isola for Italian furniture company, Tacchini. Isola is a new typology of armchair and it a furniture design for this day, where we are always connected to the internet via laptops, tablets, and other portable devices. When using these devices in many public or semi-private situations, the designer realized that seating postures change. People tend to relax or find unconventional positions sitting in a more relaxed fashion. As a response to this, the designer makes a wide and spacious chair shell with a soft organic form, lacking a clear direction. [Via]
