Eryt is a project I have wanted to do for many years with B&B Italia. I think it has a good expressiveness; at its core there is an idea of simplicity and respect for qualities that are very humanised, and wood is exploited to maximise its possibilities. When you see Eryt you realise it comprises all my classic mistakes: it’s wide, it’s low, one must always adjust the position, but it has a nice presence. You could say it’s an armchair with personality.
Nodding to 1950s Nordic design and to elements of Japanese culture, Eryt is the new armchair by Piero Lissoni. With a strong graphic and welcoming presence, the ash structure recalls Nordic rigour and an oriental spirit through a linear combination of materials but with refined touches. The turned solid wooden frame is made of light or black brushed ash topped with a curved plywood backrest and seat. The armchair is available entirely in wood or with the seat cevered in thick leather and can be complemented with a soft elliptical cushion upholstered in fabric or leather. Eryt’s design is reduced to a minimum to meet technical requirements, guarantee a light-weight aesthetic, and provide comfort.
