Bloomington is a swivel armchair with a technical resin shell and metal base with self-aligning swivel plate. Both shell and base are finished in glossy black lacquer and defined by an asymmetric organic form. The internal upholstery in fabric is padded with differentiated-density polyurethane, ensuring comfort and visual continuity.
In the name Bloomington, the verb “to bloom” resonates. Yet here, the blossoming is architectural—a construction of form in space. The Bloomington armchair emerges as a volume shaped by gesture, a three-dimensional sign that asserts itself with both clarity and ease, defining space even before accommodating the body. Its enveloping lines evoke the profile of a calla lily, yet this organic suggestion is translated into a structural language: a compact outer shell, strong and refined, polished to a mirror-like surface. Light flows across its high-gloss finish as it would over a contemporary sculpture, amplifying curves and tensions, and placing material at the forefront.
The trumpet-shaped base, polished and reflective, acts as a structural stem. Not merely a support, but a natural extension of the form: it lifts the seat, transforming it into a suspended chalice, poised between mass and momentum. The asymmetry of the armrests and backrest introduces a studied dynamism—a decisive gesture that breaks conventional symmetry and shapes the surrounding space. Comfort is embedded within the form itself, implicit and never overstated.
