Piece of the Week — Balaao Chair.
Named after the Portuguese word for balloon. Look closely and you see why: volumes that swell, fold and settle, held in place by balloon-style stitching.
Curved and elastic on the outside, carefully built on the inside — an integrated lumbar support in the back, upholstery that follows the body. And it turns a full 360 degrees, so the chair faces the conversation, the view or the light, whichever matters more.
With the round Balaao ottoman, it becomes a place of its own.
