Elli Baxter in a villa: the architect’s point of view
In a villa, the Elli Baxter armchair finds its natural place in conversation and reading areas, such as the living room or a study overlooking the garden. Its armrest-free form and rounded geometries allow it to be placed even in not particularly large spaces, leaving circulation around it free. It is advisable to position it so as to take advantage of lateral natural light, which enhances its soft volumes, and to pair it with warm materials such as wood and natural fabrics to create a coherent dialogue with the architecture of the house. The generous seat invites conversation, so it should be conceived in relation to the other furnishings, avoiding visual barriers and ensuring adequate distance for use.
