Smooth communication is a strength that Hayon’s new model for Wittmann also possesses. Slender high-back armchair TUYA is attuned to its occupants: well-proportioned in a classic wingback chair format, its seat shell gently rocks, can be rotated through 360°, and adjusted infinitely to the desired reclining position. Deep down, who doesn’t yearn for this degree of autonomy when it comes to relaxing? Alone, seated on a piece of furniture all to oneself, to be used exactly as the mood dictates. Feet up on the matching footrest and relax.
Besides Hayon’s playful flair, there’s a great deal of Wittmann in TUYA: whether the benefits of this new favourite piece are an exclusive pleasure, or destined to be shared with other family members, long-lasting quality and enduring comfort are assured. This is delivered by the tried-and-tested Wittmann pocket spring core in the seat, the premium-quality rocking mechanism, and the stable swivel base. Even the smallest stylistic details were subject to the greatest scrutiny.
The upholstery is edged with precisely executed piping, the head is gently cradled by a soft cushion, and even the locking lever is matched to the colour and material of the chosen frame finish – either Aluminium Black Grey or, more conspicuously, Polished Aluminium. Hayon chose a balanced round form for the shape of the seat and footrest. There is no question that Wittmann masters the upholstery of these edge-free surfaces to absolute perfection in both fabric and leather.
