The Banian armchair by APPARTEMENT2 is an elegant seating solution that draws design inspiration from a natural source to bring a touch of the natural world into the home environment. Designed by Caroline Grondin and Guillaume Avarguez, the chair draws inspiration from the Banyan tree, which is achieved using a mix of materials including metal, wood and textile. The black metal legs provide a contrast to the tamarind wood armrests and the upholstered cushion as well as the two rounded pillows that provide back support for the sitter.
The Banian armchair by APPARTEMENT2 was unveiled at Maison & Objet 2020 and is part of a limited-edition collection that draws inspiration from Reunion Island to bring a touch of the natural world indoors.
