The AR11v2 ESE is a low-profile chaise lounge from the Amare Collection, designed by Bertille Achard de la Vente. Its form traces a continuous S-curve, moving from the reclined backrest down to a flat leg rest without break or ornament.
The base is dark distressed wood from Tuscany, carrying the natural grain and surface irregularities of the original material. A light beige textile cushion sits across the full length of the piece, the fabric's pale warmth setting against the wood's depth. Together, they create the visual tension that runs through all Amare work: raw against refined, dark against pale.
This second version of the AR11 recalibrates the original's proportions. The seat sits close to the floor. The backrest angle is measured and low. This is a piece that occupies a room quietly, through material weight rather than scale.
Handcrafted in Italy. Available through the Monde Singulier catalog.

About
Amare
AMARE is an Italian design studio founded by Bertille Achard de la Vente. Based in Tuscany, the studio makes furniture at the intersection of minimalism and brutalism, drawing on the particular stones, woods, and metals of the region.
Achard de la Vente established AMARE around a single premise: that raw material deserves to be the subject of a piece, not its backdrop. Each object in the Amare Collection is designed to make the source material visible. The wood is distressed rather than smoothed. The stone carries its veining without intervention. The steel ages rather than being sealed. Nothing is mediated away from what the original material was.
The Amare Collection spans seating, tables, and lighting. The seating pieces, chaise longues and benches, share a low grounded geometry. Their bases are dark, worked from Tuscan wood that retains its natural texture; the upholstered surfaces are pale beige textile, quiet against the rough base below. The contrast is the design.
The tables work in a different register. The AR03 ESE is two concentric discs in dark weathered steel. The AR13 and AR14 combine dark wood with black stone, gold veining running through the material in lines that respond to the angle of light. The tables sit close to the floor, the stone panels legible from a standing position.
The lighting, a series of octagonal pendant forms cast in light beige composite material, extends the studio's language into the ceiling plane. Each pendant is faceted and sculptural, suspended by a thin wire that keeps the object rather than its mounting in view.
AMARE pieces are unique and handcrafted in Italy. The full collection is available through Monde Singulier.
