SILLAGE - Design of a compact armchair

SILLAGE, compact armchair design with organic lines for Aerre Italia by Joly Design in 2025.

The SILLAGE armchair

First unveiled at the Milan Furniture Fair 2025, SILLAGE embodies the design of a compact armchair with a sculptural approach, echoing the organic elegance that defined this edition of the show. With a formal language that favours a fluid dynamic between structure and softness, it articulates curved lines around a linear base. Moreover, the slim and discreet swivel base enables smooth movement, allowing the drawn lines to fully express themselves in motion. Altogether, the design strikes a balance between visual seduction and functional clarity, in a format conceived to integrate seamlessly into diverse environments. Each element flows into the next, forming a continuous, unbroken rhythm.

Highlighted silhouette and discreet swivel base

The structure combines an enveloping seat with a recessed swivel base designed to visually disappear. A refined piping detail outlines the silhouette, clearly emphasising each curve. Thanks to this graphic and taut finish, the volume becomes easier to read and appreciate. As for comfort, the seat balances flexibility and support, maintaining a constant dialogue between softness and structure. Additionally, the upholstery materials are chosen to enhance the flowing lines and stay faithful to the original design intent.

Compact format and flexible placement

SILLAGE, is available as a standalone armchair with compact dimensions suitable for a variety of layouts. Its format allows easy integration into mixed-use areas—living rooms, private offices, or reception zones—while asserting a strong visual identity. The armchair rests on a concealed swivel base that remains invisible when static, with a smooth, fluid range of motion. This choice enables flexible placement, whether as a central piece or as part of a larger arrangement.
