breaking conventional codes, the utopia 03 armchair is more than a seating piece; it is a sculptural expression of pleasure, tension and unconventional form. Conceived by artist drama, utopia 03 emerges from a cubic volume fractured into an irregular geometry, creating a striking object that sits between functional design and contemporary sculpture.

its architecture is defined by 38 irregular vertical strands, individually finished in hand-applied silver leaf. Together, they form a metallic outer cage that contrasts with the deep, tactile interior upholstered in premium black velvet. The silver leaf catches and reflects light, while the black velvet absorbs it, creating a continuous dialogue between sculptural exterior and intimate interior.
