Suspens is a minimalist lounge chair created by Paris-based studio PERRON et FRERES. The premise behind the chair is quietly provocative: that comfort and visual restraint need not work against each other. Most seating resolves this tension through mass – foam cores, padded arms, upholstered frames that read as soft before they are touched. Suspens takes the opposite position, arriving at ease through structural economy rather than material accumulation.

Bamboo with hardwood rim and base, overall: 17.8 cm x 16.5 cm.
