Designed by: Andres Reisinger & Julia Esque
Manufactured by: Moooi
Just extraordinary! With upholstery composed of 30,000 petals, the Hortensia lounge chair uses innovative technology and materials to create a thoroughly novel seating aesthetic that was inspired by its namesake flower. Hortensia started out as a 3D rendering that quickly went viral on social media. Even though the chair didn't physically exist, its sheer novelty prompted multiple orders. Designers Reisinger & Esqué searched for a way to make the chair into a production piece. While they successfully created a limited edition, they hoped that their design could be widely available. Together with Moooi, Reisinger & Esqué have made this possible. Hortensia's structure of voluminous curves is composed of metal and molded polyurethane foam; its tactile upholstery was developed by Esqué. With her expertise in textile design, the Hortensia lounge chair both looks and feels as natural as a blossoming Hortensia. Hortensia is included in the permanent collection of the Vitra Design Museum, Germany. Manufactured by Moooi.
The Hortensia lounge chair is available through our Quickship Program in Petal Pink upholstery. Please contact Switch Modern at 404-605-0196 or info@switchmodern.com to check current availability.
