The Amoeba was designed in 1958 for use throughout the Amsterdam Royal Hotel, designed by the same architect. The Amoeba is an example of a classic furniture design inspired by the movement to adapt organic forms into our interior spaces. An iconic piece with its minimal, simple, and distinctly “Danish" design. Its creation is taken from respect of the dimensions, the angles, the pitch and curve wrap of the original design.
The distinguished shape of the Amoeba Chair was created by omitting all straight lines from its design curved surfaces. The elegant shape is generous for lounging yet has a minimal airy appearance. The Trumpeter is mid-century modern in design and represents the era with its revolutionary form.
To this day, the piece, including its stitching, is hand created primarily due to its unique curvatures. Reproducing the original form in curve and proportion is part of the quality story aside from materials used in premium reproductions.
A small percent of the world's leather supply is of high enough quality for 100% Top Grain Aniline upholstered furniture. Aniline Dyeing is the process of soaking the hides in transparent aniline, which allows color to absorb into the natural hide. Top Grain Aniline leather is then topical stain protected to minimize liquid absorption during everyday use but does not require imitation grain stamping methods, which imprint a Faux grain over the majority of the leather surface. Without all the synthetic topical coatings, it breathes naturally making it comfortable for seating. It is soft, supple, durable and pliable, maintaining the characteristics of pure leather.
