Design: Herzog & de Meuron
Pouf PF5 — HdM 2025

“The Meninas were originally conceived as part of The Council, the first renovated interior by Herzog & de Meuron for the hotel Les Trois Rois in Basel. An intimate room featuring two fireplaces facing one another, composed of unusual and contrasting surfaces that invite touch. The family of pentagonal upholstered chairs was created to accompany the Velazquez table, with the same pentagonal shape.

Particularly in the design of the chair, the concept of non-directional directionality inherent in a pentagonal form allows for multiple ways to sit on it or to orient yourself. The minimal backrest provides sufficient support for the back or serves as an armrest, without consuming the limited space available.

Marta immediately recognized the connotation to the Meninas in the famous Velazquez painting. We like it when objects transcend their functionality to assume distinct personalities, they inhabit the space with a different presence.”

The collection is hand crafted in Italy and it is part of Marta Sala Éditions new collection La magie du Bois.

Now there are available in three diffents sizes and completed with a useful ottoman.
