绿叶沙发- Borghese sofa

绿叶沙发- Borghese sofa

这是设计师Richard Schultz带来的绿叶沙发（Borghese sofa），坐在上面，你能闻到罗马的味道——设计师将罗马最大的公共公园Villa Borghese中最典型的风景融入了这款沙发，三两棵绿得醉人的松，加上一两点精致的山~将之摆在客厅一隅，即便只是偶尔视线的带过，你也能感受到属于自然的苍翠。

When Richard Schultz designed his now-classic Petal table (PDF) for Florence Knoll in 1960, he went the extra mile, creating piece that was not only beautiful from the top but from the bottom: Schultz modeled the structure supporting the petals on Queen’s Anne lace, a common weed on his farmhouse property.

More than 50 years later, Noé Duchaufour Lawrance has pulled a similar trick. On his new Borghese sofa, a network of branches rises up the back to hold up three cushions in place. And like Schultz, the Frenchman found inspiration in nature, specifically the pine trees of Villa Borghese, the largest public park in Rome. The couch is an abstract landscape that can only be appreciated with a 360-degree view, making it one of those pieces of furniture that shouldn’t be arrested—i.e., shoved against a wall. In fact, doing so might constitute a crime.

Borghese is part of the inaugural collection of La Chance, a brand-new French company headed by an architect and a financier with fine design sensibilities and a combined age of 55. It’s available in two color combinations: a carbon-black frame with charcoal upholstery, or a white frame with cushions in various shades of green.
