Sancal FORMAL TWIN Fabric armchair with armrests

FORMAL TWIN is a fabric armchair designed by Júlia Esqué.‎ With Twins, designer Júlia Esqué explores how “wardrobe” can completely transform the identity of an object.‎ Using a structure inspired by the typology of a cinema seat, two pieces are born that, despite being the same, could not be more different.‎ Formal Twin presents itself as serene and restrained.‎ The geometry is perceived with precision, and the piping traces its silhouette.‎ The piece feels firm and elegant, ready to take its place with authority and calm.‎ In Drama Twin, the twin is transformed.‎ The fabric falls and folds, playing with the form and suggesting movement.‎ It becomes approachable, expressive, even playful.‎ It is as if the armchair were dressing up for a special occasion.‎  Júlia has also curated special editions: in the case of the Formal Twin, these play with contrasting piping tones to further emphasize the silhouette; in the Drama Twin version, the “skirts” introduce a more technical fabric that adds structure and a contemporary look.‎ Thus, by playing with color, volume, and movement, the Designer’s Editions accentuate the iconic character of each piece.‎ Further info from manufacturer on FORMAL TWIN Sancal
