An enveloping armchair designed to combine relaxation, elegance and ergonomics
The Close Encounter swivel armchair by Blu Dot combines soft shapes, enveloping comfort, and confident modernity. Designed to offer a seating experience that's both relaxed and refined, it captivates with its sculptural design and subtly designed ergonomics. Its harmonious curves naturally contour to the body, while the high-resilience molded foam ensures optimal support, even during extended periods of use. Whether placed in a living room, office, or lounge area, this chair quickly becomes an irresistible invitation to relaxation and contemplation.
Smooth 360° rotation and harmonious combination of metal and textile
Its generous seat and curved shell create a cocoon-like feel, providing both physical and visual comfort. Thanks to its powder-coated steel swivel base, the Close Encounter allows for smooth and silent 360° rotation, promoting natural and intuitive freedom of movement—perfect for those who enjoy observing the room, interacting, or simply changing their perspective. The contrast between the metal base and the soft texture of the fabric or leather reinforces its contemporary character, while adding a tactile and sensory dimension to the design.
Available in fabric or leather for a cozy atmosphere
Available in several finishes, this armchair adapts equally well to warm ambiances and minimalist decors. In the fabric version, it exudes a cozy, textured look ideal for a living room or reading nook. In the leather version, it takes on a more sophisticated and timeless look, perfect for an office or reception area. Whatever the configuration, every detail of the Close Encounter—from the discreet stitching to the enveloping shape of the backrest—is a testament to careful craftsmanship and a search for a balance between elegance, comfort, and functionality.
