Elevated Comfort, Wing Chair Presence — Chair & Panchina
The Grand Repos & Panchina pairs the Grand Repos wing chair with the Panchina — a small upholstered bench that serves as a footrest or occasional seat, sold together as a set. The Grand Repos uses a synchronised mechanism concealed beneath the upholstery that allows the sitter to move from upright to fully reclined, locking the backrest at any angle. The resistance can be manually adjusted to the user’s weight. The six-centimetre higher backrest and expressive wing element give the Grand Repos a heightened sense of enclosure and comfort compared to the Repos.
The fully removable cover — fabric or leather across multiple upholstery grades — is available in a wide range of colours on both chair and panchina. All plastic components in the inner construction are made from 95% recycled materials. The four-star swivel base is die-cast aluminium in a polished or powder-coated finish; the base version determines the finish of the mechanism control lever. Available in two heights. A neck pillow filled with recycled PET fibres is included. Note: the Panchina is only available with plastic glides.
