Designed by Giorgio Bonaguro for Carpanese Home, Betty is a generously-sized padded armchair. The main feature is the enveloping backrest that forms two comfortable armrests. The rounded shapes, emphasized by the curved wooden base, appear in the matching pouf, which gives the ensemble a sense of comfort, elegance and relaxation. The name — inspired by Betty Catroux, a muse of the prominent couturier Yves Saint Laurent — is a nod to an ideal of involuntary, timeless elegance, beyond fashion.
Armchair and pouf in EPA-certified plywood, fir, hardboard. Padded with open-cell polyurethane and Dacron layers, sprung with elastic straps. Curved in layers of poplar plywood and ash-veneered wood fiber panels. Leather or fabric covering.
