Designed by Simon James, founder of New Zealand-based Resident, the Isabella chair is like a welcoming embrace—its contours envelop, offering comfort for body and mind.

James says that Isabella is “an exercise in the mixing of contrasting proportions.” He refers to the juxtaposition of its three-legged steel base, with its slightly industrial feel, and the plush environs of the seat and back.

The essence of Isabella is thus a happy meeting of opposites: soft and hard, sophisticated and rough, linear and curvaceous.

The formula works. Isabella is a refined chair that offers an enviable synthesis of ergonomic comfort and modern aesthetic appeal.

Multiple upholstery options are available, including Pelle Leather and Kvadrat Fabrics. Find out more at Resident.
