Visionnaire CARTER Garden armchair with bent aluminium sheet frame

Carter is a family of upholstered pieces — sofa, armchair and pouf — designed for outdoor use and conceived as a modular system with an essential, structural character.‎ The shell, crafted from folded, boxed and powder-coated aluminum sheet, gives the product a technical and industrial profile.‎ The seat is assembled through brass studs that make the constructive detail explicit, transforming the junction into a defining feature.‎ Resting on this base are the upholstered elements, generous yet rigorous in their geometry, upholstered in outdoor fabric.‎ The volumes appear clean and suspended, supported by a structure that emphasizes their architectural character.‎ The collection unfolds through distinct families, ranging from sculptural expressionism to a formal presence defined as stealth — almost alien — evoking the cinematic, nocturnal atmosphere of the villas perched on the hills of Los Angeles.‎ The architecture of John Lautner resonates in the sharp volumes and in a modernism concerned not with purity, but with tension.‎ At the same time, a muscular presence inhabits the forms, transforming discipline into monumentality and comfort into an emotional experience.‎ Further info from manufacturer on CARTER Visionnaire
