With the Louvre Lines seat Dutch designer Carmela Bogman has encapsulated the essence of quiet elegance. It's a fusion of contemporary and historical. The straight architectural lines give it a crisp and modern look. While the folded metal reveals its source of inspiration, French shutters.
The images portrait the Louvre Lines seats along the quayside of the IJssel river in Zutphen. Here its presence is accentuated by the sharp contrast between the white concrete and the intense dark brown colour (RAL 8022) of the metal. Exuding an elegant and refined atmosphere fitting for this location.
Emulating rays of sunlight, the light that filters through the backrest scatters a linear shadow pattern onto the surrounding area.
French shutters have a multifaceted styling talent. A feature activated purely by choice of colour. Using dark tones on light backgrounds creates an instant chic and classical composition. Like the colour combinations we spot on historical homes. By opting for the colourful contrasting colours so customary to the French Provence region, vibrancy and charm is injected into the space.
Two slender, irregularly situated armrests subdue the appearance of the 3.1 meter long 6-seater. Its length and the number of armrests can be completely adjusted to your personal demand.
The zinc primer and 2 layer powder coating applied to the metal surface ensures a durable and maintenance free product life cycle.
The current Louvre Lines seat is attached onto a wall or a concrete section. A standing version is in the making.
