paris-based designer samuel accoceberry presents during maison & objet 2016 his latest armchair collection for bosc, highlighting the manufacturer’s expertise. the set of chairs have in common that they reference aspects that have to do with the spanish basque country: san sebastián and the pelote basque.

 

‘paleta’ pays tribute to the scandinavian armchairs, whose armrests evoke the shape of the paleta, a racket used in a variety of court sports played with it and a ball against a wall or another team. the structure of the chair is made in oak or walnut, with an upholstered back and seat. ‘paleta’ comes in different color combinations to suit every taste.

‘concha’ is a family of small armchairs and sofas that are characterized by an extremely compact form. their volume references a conch, in the way that it is enveloping and welcoming, allowing for it to be easily position in small places. being the new member of the family, ‘concha’ refers to one of the most famous beaches in san sebastían, a bay named la concha, that is spanish for shell.
