The Ahkka lounge armchairs, designed by the Swedish studio Claesson Koivisto Rune for the Italian company True Design, originate from a soft and essential formal language, characterized by gentle curves and rounded edges. The name is inspired by the tenth highest peak in Sweden, a landscape shaped over millennia by the glaciers of the Ice Age that have smoothed and sculpted the mountains of the far North.
Designed for contemporary settings, the Ahkka lounge armchair combines sculptural aesthetics with ergonomic comfort, becoming an ideal solution for lounge areas, reception spaces, hospitality environments and modern offices. The outer surfaces, continuous and harmonious, define an enveloping volume capable of enhancing professional and contract settings with an elegant and distinctive presence.
The Ahkka lounge armchair collection includes a high-back wingback version, a standard-back version, and a matching footstool. The wingback version, thanks to the more enveloping shape of the backrest and armrests, creates a sense of protection and privacy within open-plan environments, making it perfect for moments of relaxation or private conversations. The footstool can be paired with both versions to further enhance the level of comfort.
Great attention has been devoted to the design of proportions and surfaces, ensuring the armchair appears balanced and harmonious from every angle. The rear and side surfaces of the backrest and armrests develop through progressive curves that interact with the seat, creating the impression of a single continuous and enveloping volume. Inside, the ergonomic padding emerges with precise lines that meet the outer shell along defined edges, resulting in a design armchair with a refined and controlled aesthetic.
The Ahkka lounge armchair is supported by a swivel base and incorporates an adaptive mechanism concealed beneath the upholstery, designed to naturally follow the movements of the body. This technical solution allows a smooth transition from a relaxed, reclined position to a more upright and active posture. The padding, enhanced with integrated cushions and generous armrests, completes a soft and well-balanced seat, designed to offer maximum comfort in contemporary lounges, waiting areas and welcoming work environments.
