Product description

The lui chair wins wood lovers’ hearts the first time they take a seat thanks to its unpretentious style and exceptional comfort. Now a swivel base, featuring metal and quality upholstered cushioning, expands the available options for this flexible cushioned chair with casual style.

The starting point for lui’s design was to create a seat shell that remains comfortable even over longer periods of use. The shape of the solid, three-dimensional plywood core is rounded off with an ergonomically sculpted foam seat that provides long-lasting comfort of sitting. Finally, the seat cover is masterfully crafted in a way that produces its signature folds – emerging in the leather like laughter lines, in the Softstrick cover like a knowing wink. In both look and feel, lui’s sophisticated design inspires good spirits and encourages a variety of uses.

lui with wool seat cover
Its elegance, flexibility, and effortlessness make it an excellent companion for any number of tables or benches. With the new wool cover, which has also been meticulously handcrafted to create the signature folds, lui works in perfect harmony with the yps bench with fabric upholstery, for example. High-quality wool, a natural product with excellent temperature- and moisture-regulating properties, ensures superior seating comfort with its soft, breathable surface. The bench and chairs may also be upholstered with leather – available either dyed by TEAM 7 or in natural leather in a variety of colours.

lui with swivel base
Visible wood joints and the cross-connected, flared legs are distinguishing features and provide lui with its exceptional stability. The new version replaces the solid mount underneath the elegant seat shell with a swivel base made of aluminium. It is as light and organic in form as the wood frame. Exceptional comfort is maintained thanks to the seat’s superior-quality swivel mechanism, which returns the chair to its natural position when the user stands up. It can be selected in glossy, matt black, or with a stainless steel finish. The lui swivel chair provides mobile comfort while eating or enjoying one another’s company, but it is an equally ideal choice for the home office – combined with the sol or atelier desk, for example.

Concept

This guy is just really cool.
Even if lui gives off a shamelessly casual impression, its covering makes it appropriate for any setting – and that’s how the designer Jacob Strobel views his piece. lui appears elegant and suave all at once. As chic as an easy chair, it nevertheless has all four of its feet firmly planted on the ground. These are linked transversely and point slightly backwards. Visible wood connections highlight the meticulous craftsmanship. The seat of the lui chair nestles against the body and provides superior seating comfort, with its sculpted upholstery made of ergonomic foam material. The comfort of sitting on the chair is completed by high-quality leather or the especially cosy Softstrick cover.

Always a smile.
Similar to a garment, the leather cover fits snugly across the rounded back, while the inside is manually arranged to create leather folds – which give the subtle impression of laughter lines. It may seem spontaneous and accidental, but it has been covered using a single, consistent cut of leather, according to traditional upholstery craft. The double-stitched felled seam, familiar from classic denim, seems both casual and timeless. The Softstrick cover, which is made in one piece and envelopes the seat like a perfectly-fitting sweater, is just as ingenious. With little folds that indicate a wink, lui shows a friendly face in this version as well.
