Hard Shell, Soft Core
The Design-Duo `Hoffmann Kahleyss Design´ has designed a dualistic piece of furniture, as harmonious as yin and yang.

Leya reconciles contradictions in a wonderful way. With its tautly upholstered shell, the chair designed by Birgit Hoffmann and Christoph Kahleyss makes a clear and linear impression from the outside, but you’ll feel the outstanding comfort the moment you sit down. The external padding reveals a soft cushion on the inside for an almost sensory experience. On its own, Leya promotes a focused and pleasant atmosphere in the office. As part of an ensemble, this narrow chair is a delightful addition to any dining or conference room table, creating a positive environment without stealing the show.
