Born from the idea of ​​creating a true "room within a room," this armchair offers an intimate and protected micro-environment in open spaces, ensuring exceptional sound insulation (reducing external noise by up to 70%). Made entirely of fiberglass (fiberglass), a pioneering material at the time, molded to achieve a glossy, lightweight, and incredibly durable surface.
