Quiet luxury

The latest from Italian design house Lema embodies softness, comfort, and dynamism in pieces of gently curving silhouettes.

Pictured above is the Miki lounge chair by Pierattelli Architetture for Lema — with a distinctive curvilinear flow and protective shell that extends, surrounds and envelops the seat. A welcoming refuge.

The Hasu lounge armchair by Ludovica Palomba and Roberto Serafini is a harmonious blend of compact proportions, sculptural elegance, and exceptional comfort. Inspired by the lotus flower, Hasu embodies a perfect balance of formal purity and inviting softness.

Lema is now available in New Zealand from Tim Webber
