Discover the Imola Armchair:
An Icon of Timeless Design
Take a closer look. From the striking details to the graceful sweeps of its curves, the Imola armchair is a true design icon. Roomy enough for you to curl up in, yet so elegant it doesn’t seem over the top, the Imola armchair is an instant classic and ready to make a statement in any space.
Navrhnuté Henrikom Pedersenom v roku 2008 - zadanie od BoConcept bolo vtedy vytvoriť nadčasové kreslo. Verný svojej povahe, Henrik predviedol niečo radikálne iné. Organický dizajn, v ktorom sa snúbia sugestívne krivky, ostré hrany a vizuálne napätie. Kreslo, ktoré, povedané jeho vlastnými slovami, bolo „... viac o spontánnom pohybe pera než o pravidlách geometrie“.
Craftsmanship
The core of Imola is made of moulded hard foam, enabling us to create unique shapes. The hard foam is then supplemented with another mould of soft foam to make the chair as comfortable as it is beautiful. The chair is then upholstered in your preferred fabric or leather. There are only a handful of craftsmen in the world qualified to make the Imola chair. That qualification takes approximately a year and is only given to highly skilled upholsterers – and for good reason. Stretching such taut upholstery over Imola’s sculptural form is physically demanding work, which requires years of experience and a meticulous eye for detail.

Base options
The chair has two base options - wire legs and a swivel star base. Choose the swivel base to turn the chair around seamlessly or go with the wire legs for a beautiful completion of the design.
Organic shapes
The strict organic shapes combined with the moulded foam offer a unique and outstanding look. The high back gives the chair a voluminous look that underlines the uniqueness of the design while providing great head support.
Meet the designer
Henrik Pedersen designs for clients all over the world, and has, in addition to the Imola chair, conceived some of BoConcept’s most-popular products, including the Adelaide collection, Amsterdam sofa, Salamanca sofa, Charlotte chair and Hauge table. With a focus on warm minimalism, his design language is a blend of comfort, natural curves, clean lines and honest materials – honesty being one of his mantras.
