The Umma Armchair was born out of the designer's search for a lightweight, sophisticated outdoor armchair that would bring a touch of elegance to any setting. Its unique design and dimensions were carefully crafted to ensure optimal comfort, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some leisure time.
Constructed with an aluminum frame and nautical rope, the Umma Armchair combines durability with a visually appealing aesthetic. The upholstery is tailored with technical fabrics, providing a comfortable experience while also being weather-resistant. This makes the armchair suitable for outdoor use, allowing you to create a tranquil oasis in your own backyard.
One of the standout features of the Umma Armchair is its versatility. By altering the proportions of the project, the designer has created a chair, armchair, stool, loveseat, and even a swing. This adaptability allows you to customize your outdoor space according to your needs and preferences.
The Umma Armchair project began in November 2022 during the Design Tank immersion and design competition in Bento Goncalves, RS, Brazil. It is now being produced by Sulvimes, ensuring that this exceptional piece of furniture will soon be available for purchase.
Through extensive research and creative problem-solving, the designer overcame various challenges to create the Umma Armchair. The goal was to achieve the perfect balance between aesthetics, comfort, and sustainability. By combining aluminum, nautical rope, and technical fabric, the designer was able to create a visually lightweight armchair that is both durable and environmentally friendly.
The Umma Armchair has already received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Furniture Design Award in 2023. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.
Whether you're looking to enhance your home decor or create a cozy outdoor space, the Umma Armchair is the perfect choice. Its timeless design and high-quality materials ensure that it will remain a cherished piece for many years to come.
