Three versions of Botta’s “sixth” armchair are available: single (“the prince”); twin (the “king and queen”); twin with seats facing each other (“East and West”).

“The sofa is designed to be a space that wraps itself around and captures you. During the various stages of this design, the frame gradually became less and less substantial; in the end, what was left was a strong transparent texture.”

(Mario Botta in Mario Botta, Construire les objets, Martigny 1989).
