Hard Shell, Soft Core The Design-Duo `HoffmannKahleyssDesign´ has designed a dualistic piece of furniture, as harmonious as yin and yang. Leya reconciles contradictions in a wonderful way. With its tautly upholstered shell, the Counter Armchair designed by Birgit Hoffmann and Christoph Kahleyss makes a clear and linear impression from the outside, but you’ll feel the outstanding comfort the moment you sit down. The external padding reveals a soft cushion on the inside for an almost sensory experience. This pure design is available in a range of premium quality coverings and combinable with different frames; an elegant high back provides an extra level of comfort.
