Furniture designed for the urban apartment
Affordable urban apartments are small, and the young adults who live there are looking for furniture to make the most out of their living space.
In a small space, footprint matters
Apartment dwellers need small-scale furniture that can be moved around a room and yet does not sacrifice comfort or style.
Tones and textures inspiration
Inspiration was taken from the attitude of today's working girl as well as historically industrial cities. Tones and textures are soft, but strong and serious.
Simple comfort, bold look
Lille uses soft fabric, light wood, and a reclined, low-back profile to provide users with a relaxed seating solution while maintaining an edge with its bent metal legs.
Compact shipping
Lille was designed with compact shipping in mind. When disassembled, Lille lays flat in a small box which reduces the cost of shipping and makes it a more affordable option for young apartment dwellers.

With a limited number of components and simple joinery methods, users can easily assemble this chair in their small space.
