Chloe: A Minimalist and Imposing Armchair

An Iconic Design by Juan David Martinez

Chloe is a remarkable armchair that dominates Minimal Studio with its imposing presence. The design plays with angles and geometry to create a visually striking and iconic profile. Martinez's vision was to create a large piece that exudes a sense of balance while also hinting at the possibility of breaking.

The armchair is crafted using high-quality materials to ensure both durability and aesthetic appeal. The skeleton of Chloe is made from tinted French oak, which adds warmth and character to the design. The use of oak also aligns with the brand's overall aesthetic and concept. The cushion is upholstered in quality brown leather, providing both comfort and a touch of luxury. The support strips are made from marble, allowing for perfect adjustment of the cushion.

With dimensions of 55 x 147 x 115cm, Chloe is designed to make a statement in any space. Its sleek and slender geometry is instantly recognizable and adds a touch of sophistication to any interior.

The development of Chloe took place in Mallorca in 2018, with the project reaching completion and presentation in 2019. Throughout the design process, Martinez focused on creating a chair with a profile that is both iconic and easily identifiable. The combination of angles, unions, and material resistances posed a significant challenge during production, but ultimately resulted in a visually stunning and functional piece.

Chloe has garnered recognition for its exceptional design. In 2021, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious accolade is given to designs that demonstrate innovation, practicality, and adherence to professional and industrial requirements. Chloe's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contribute to its fulfillment and positive impact on the world.

Chloe is a testament to Juan David Martinez's talent and creativity. With its minimalist aesthetic, imposing presence, and meticulous craftsmanship, this armchair is a true work of art that elevates any space it graces.
