The Lu Armachair

I'm used to commenting on designs that are either traditional, or modern, or a mix of both. This one, though, looks so modern it's almost futuristic. The Lu Armachair by Andrea Fino and Samantha Snidaro is unique, elegant, and a little organic even. It's made of a metallic structure filled with polyurethane and covered with Alcantara.

The two designers came together to found Sand & Birch Design in 2003, hoping to "re-interpret the concept of furnishings and to bring other meanings, other senses, and other lives to objects." I'd say the Lu achieves that purpose.
