La Tarde: A Sanctuary of Comfort and Sophistication

Linda Martins' Award-Winning Armchair Redefines Relaxation with Scandinavian Style

Inspired by the tranquility of a late afternoon, La Tarde, an award-winning armchair designed by Linda Martins, offers a perfect blend of comfort, sophistication, and contemporary design. This piece, a winner of the prestigious Silver A' Furniture Design Award in 2019, is a testament to the power of design in enhancing daily life.

La Tarde's unique properties lie in its high structure, slightly reclined seat, and clean, contemporary design. These features not only guarantee maximum comfort to the user but also add a touch of sophistication to any environment. The armchair, accompanied by an ottoman, is an invitation to tranquility and relaxation after a long, tiring day.

The armchair's realization is a testament to the innovative use of materials and technology in design. With a shell in fiberglass structure covered in fabric and a sturdy oak wood base, La Tarde is both secure and aesthetically pleasing. The trailing feet boast a distinctive triangular design, and the seat is covered in velvety fabric for added comfort. The backrest and arms feature an organic and fluid design, complemented by a similar design on the ottoman with gold accents.

La Tarde's design process was underpinned by extensive research on the influence of furniture on people's daily lives and the importance of a space for relaxation. The armchair was developed with materials that promote comfort and fine, fluid lines for visual appeal. The challenge was to create a piece that was not only comfortable but also sophisticated and clean, a challenge that was successfully met with the use of fine lines, compact materials, and neutral tones.

La Tarde was designed in October 2018. Its design tags include 'Scandinavian', 'rest', 'comfort', 'armchair', 'design', 'lux', and 'gold'. The armchair measures 820 width x 850 depth x 950 height, and the ottoman measures 400 width x 420 depth x 420 height. The design project was a solo effort by Linda Martins.

La Tarde is a testament to the power of design in enhancing daily life. Its fine lines and clean design bring sophistication and contemporaneity, while the materials and tones used ensure the warmth of the piece. It is a proposal of tranquility for the day-to-day, a comfortable space in the late afternoon that invites relaxation. The design was awarded Silver in A' Furniture Design Award in 2019, a testament to its outstanding expertise and innovation.
