Black daybed on gravel drive

Architect-designed seating by Parla features on Dezeen Showroom

Dezeen Showroom: Turkish furniture brand Parla has listed pieces from its Comfort and Palm seating collections on Dezeen Showroom, designed in collaboration with French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte.

Like all pieces in the Palm collection, the Palm daybed has a slender metal frame supported by slim legs.

The low arm to the side of the seat echos the linear composition of the rest of the chaise lounge.

Thick, broad back and seat cushions are joined by a rounded bolster cushion for optimal comfort in both sitting and reclining poses.

The same design language applies to the Palm armchair, which has a generous seat and an optional accompanying footstool.

Armrests provide timber detailing and come in solid oak or walnut for indoor chairs, or Iroko wood for chairs used outside.

Elegant tubular legs combine with plump cushions to create the Palm Compact Comfort A bar stool.

The brand prides itself on the seamless welding between the metal components in its pieces, which is apparent in the stool.
