ANDES
Swivel leather armchair with armrests
Andes, a particularly versatile collection by Wittmann, is extended with the inviting armchair by Luca Nichetto, featuring a star-shaped swivel base. From variable sofa modules and a generously proportioned armchair to an upholstered bed, a clear philosophy runs through the design and is reflected in the organically shaped cushions. One striking detail: the delicate, rounded metal feet, inspired by a spoon designed by Josef Hoffmann. Nichetto and Wittmann have effortlessly taken up the challenge of applying these design features to the new star of the series: the Andes swivel chair rests on a slim, light star-shaped base available in black or - for an extra touch of glamour - brass. The point where the foot meets the floor is also a passing reference to Hoffmann. The finish variations are virtually endless: contrasting tones and materials for the shell and armrests, while the precision piping can stand out in an accent colour. The pocketed springs in the seat cushion create a unique level of comfort usually associated with a real Wittmann. In summary: the ANDES swivel chair is a beautifully proportioned armchair made to the highest standards of craftsmanship. In addition to standing out for its unrivalled functionality and durability, its appeal is also based on its timeless aesthetics - qualities that are appreciated in the home and contract sector alike.
Andes is a new interpretation of classically elegant salon furniture – bearing all the hallmarks of a great Viennese tradition. The individual elements in this family can be positioned to spectacular effect, as required, to present a new face to the world. With a virtually limitless number of combinations possible, ANDES’ personality adapts to its surroundings by offering countless individual configuration options – no matter which of the world’s cultural circles it is introduced to.
Available in a choice of two heights, the delicate metal structure gives the organically shaped cushions the appearance of floating. Perfectly handcrafted, the lines traced out by the dual piping bear the signature of Wittmann Möbelwerkstätten’s master craftsmanship. Maximum seating comfort comes courtesy of the feeling of gentle support delivered by Wittmann’s trademark intelligent use of a pocket-sprung core.
Andes is ideally suited for playful combinations of different-sized elements, seating heights, low and high backrest cushions, and coloured seat cushions. Footstools and tables can be brought in to coalesce with the group configuration, or positioned independently to the side of the ensemble. In terms of covering options, a multiplicity of materials and colours create new and highly individualistic impressions – underscored by design details that only true handcraftsmanship can produce.
