Combining simplicity with comfort, lightness and quality, the Yale armchair evokes the image of a sofa that is not “bourgeois,” but contemporary and stylish. its minimalist frame features generous cushions that are down-filled and extremely comfortable. They are also quite structural and come with removable covers. Its white or black gloss lacquered frame is made of extruded aluminum with elastic belts and is covered and protected with a layer of polyether, die-cast aluminum legs.

The Yale project was included in the 2010 ADI Design Index, an honour bestowed by the Association for Industrial Design on the most important products introduced over the past three years. In 2011, the project was also entered in the competition for the XXII edition of the Compasso d’Oro award, the design world’s most sought-after, most prestigious recognition of quality in the production and design of goods and services. Yale won one of the 19 Compasso d’Oro awards in the category of fine design for domestic living, for its vision of padded upholstery in a minimalist frame.
