Cubic Slim is not just an ordinary armchair; it is a masterpiece that combines furniture and lighting in a harmonious way. The armrests of the chair feature built-in LED lights, providing a soft and ambient glow. This ingenious integration eliminates the need for separate lighting while reading or relaxing in the chair.
One of the key strengths of Cubic Slim lies in its carefully planned minimalistic dimensioning. From every angle, whether viewed from the front, back, or side, the chair presents a unified and harmonious whole. The sleek metal frame, adorned with metal net details, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. The colorful leather upholstery enhances the chair's visual appeal, making it a true work of art.
Measuring at 750 mm x 750 mm x 750 mm, Cubic Slim is designed to fit seamlessly into any space. Its compact size makes it suitable for both domestic and public use. Whether placed as a centerpiece in a room or arranged in a group, the illuminated armrests create a unique and exciting atmosphere.
The interaction with Cubic Slim is effortless and user-friendly. The armrests provide a convenient place for a drink, while small wooden handles make it easy for even elderly individuals to rise up from the chair. For those who desire customization, the LED lights can be adjusted to change color or brightness, allowing users to create their desired ambiance.
Cubic Slim was designed by Ari Korolainen in 2016 and has since gained recognition in the design world. It was exhibited at the prestigious Top Design Fuorisalone in Milan in April 2016 and was also invited for exhibition at the Venice Design 2017 at la Biennale de Venezia. The chair's unique combination of functionality and aesthetics has captivated audiences and earned it the Iron A' Design Award in 2017.
With Cubic Slim, Ari Korolainen has successfully merged furniture and lighting, creating a truly innovative and visually striking armchair. Its sleek design, integrated LED lights, and comfortable features make it a must-have for those seeking both style and functionality in their living spaces.
