    The band sets the price, not the colour. Each upholstery option covers one or two Arketipo price categories and is priced at the higher of the two. Once you order, we'll go through Arketipo's fabrics and leathers in your band with you and confirm your exact choice before production starts. If you choose one from the lower-priced category, we refund the difference. Pelle B and Pelle Leonardo leathers are available on request.

    About the design

    Brasilia, it screams movement, sensuality… freedom. Brasilia, a name that awakens the senses, an attitude that never goes unnoticed, nor unwanted. Brasilia… it: Flow. That’s Brasilia for Giuseppe Viganó. It represents fluidity, grace, and the art of living with the unexpected. It defies rigidity or any form that speaks of nature, of architecture, of life itself, yet it embodies something we all aspire to have. Flow. It’s everything that design should capture. Contrasts of materials, shapes, function and form. It’s confident yet humble, bold yet never tries hard. Brasilia is flow. And that’s what is captured in this design. Its structure, available in black ash and walnut-stained ash, follows a rhythm of soft, organic lines, like the rolling hills and winding rivers that shaped his architecture. Light yet strong, refined yet bold, the armchair is an ode to balance, where elegance meets dynamism, where design becomes poetry. Because Brasilia is more than a chair: it’s the philosophy of flow. A statement of beauty in motion.

    I bought a very nice sofa for an even better price in the TFU design shop. Lovely place to nose around. The guys are super friendly and helpful. They have a very good feeling for style and design. I trust them to refurbish/ decorate my house if I put it up for sale or rental.
