Last year, Mattiazzi presented a look at the original PAF PAF Chair at Salone del Mobile 2023 and a new version of the chair arrives during Milan Design Week 2024. The head of Studio Irvine, Marialaura Irvine created both of these chairs and the latest is the PAF PAF Lounge.
This is a wooden armchair that is defined by its short and wide structures with minimal lines. The creative director of the brand Konstantin Grcic tapped Irvine to work on the chairs to broaden the capsule of seating. It boasts a refined look with a comfortable feel as there are two soft feature cushions to form around the seater's body. There are also two new materials that are available in the capsule including natural fiber by Torri Lana 1885 and Sorensen Leather.
