Armadillo Armchair 2020

Designers: MUT Design, Valencia, Spain

Manufacturers: Expormim, Mogente, Spain

Closely linked to Expormim for years through designs such as Nautica or Twins, the multidisciplinary team MUT now proposes, Armadillo "a revision of a furniture classic in rattan: the papasan. But this is a radically free and wonderfully postmodern version. Armadillo has the sympathetic shyness of the animal from which it gets its name and the unmistakable signature of the Valencian studio in its silhouette."

Far from being relegated to a corner, Armadillo blends beauty, Mediterranean essence, and the craftmanship of Expormim in such a provocative way that you are encouraged to sit down on it. Simplicity and attention to tradition characterize the work presented by MUT in 2020. It is an ode to calm, a new design made in Mogente (Valencia) at the service of craftsmen who still bend and sand the rods by hand. The result? Guaranteed stability and almost transparent visibility.
