Arkena
Design Chiara Viganò, 2026
Arkena is a small armchair that welcomes you, invites you to take a break, and opens up a slower, more mindful dimension of space.
The design takes shape around a continuous gesture: the wooden armrest, carved and shaped with varying thicknesses, forms a fluid, organic structure that envelops and defines the seat. It is not merely a structural element, but a presence that shapes the space and defines its character. Inside, the soft volumes of the seat and backrest emerge naturally, full and rounded, like surfaces smoothed by time. The dialogue between the wood’s texture and the softness of the upholstery creates a subtle balance, made up of harmonious contrasts. Arkena tells the story of an encounter between design and nature, between solidity and warmth, where every element finds its place in an essential and contemporary composition.
An intimate and elegant armchair, designed for comfort and for time spent on oneself.
