Concept
The main features of this product are definitely its sleek lines, unusual and seductive proportions, its height from the floor and height of the back, the functional sizes and soft shapes.
Allen has a thin, sinuous design, where the rounded arms meet with the high and comfortable back – made using a complex technological procedure – creating all-new sizes and harmoniously balanced proportions. The back, high and welcoming, delicately overlaps with a compact arm, in line with the thin seat base. A special focus has been given to the die cast aluminum feet, in Pewter color with an extra glossy finish. High and with an asymmetric section, the idea was to offer different views of the sofa when looking at it from the front or side, while always emphasizing the project of a light product, “lying on air”.
Allen also offers innovative design contents that introduce new standards in terms of compositions and more in general, a new logic in combining pieces.
The system, in fact, stems from the idea of a new composition made of only two pieces. For example, combining a linear end piece – chosen from among the many pieces in the range with a “sofa-chaise longue” which encapsulates the values of a sofa, and the aesthetic and design lightness of a chaise longue.
Another important detail is that there are no supporting corner feet, the result of painstaking design and details-focused aesthetics.
