Context
Student project

This coach seat project draws its inspiration from the furniture of Charles and Ray Eames, and from their way of combining comfort, visible structure and generous forms.

The backrest and seat break down into a series of rounded cushions resting on a shell, while the armrest sits on a bent-wood structure.
